ولو ارادوا الخروج لاعدوا له عدة ولكن كره الله انبعاثهم فثبطهم وقيل اقعدوا مع القاعدين

If they had intended To come out, they would Certainly have made Some preparation therefor; But God was averse To their being sent forth; So He made them lag behind, And they were told, "Sit ye among those Who sit (inactive)."
