48.11 - Those who remained behind from among the bedouins will say to you: Our wealth and our families occupied us, so seek forgiveness for us. They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say: Then who can possess for you against Allah anything if He wants for you harm or if He wants for you benefit? Rather, Allah is ever of what you do Acquainted. 48.12 - Rather! You thought that the messenger and the believers would not return to their families, ever, and that was decorated in your hearts, and you assumed an evil assumption and were a people ruined. 48.13 - And whoever does not believe in Allah and His messenger; then indeed, We have prepared for the unbelievers a blaze. 48.14 - And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; He forgives whom He wills and castigates whom He wills. And ever is Allah Forgiving, Merciful. 48.15 - Those who remained behind will say when you set for war booty to seize it: Let us follow you. They want to change the words of Allah. Say: You will never follow us; thus did Allah say before. And they will say: Rather, you envy us. Rather, they were not to understand except a little. 48.16 - Say to those who remained behind from among the bedouins: You will be called (to fight) against a people possessing mighty strength; you may fight them, or they will surrender. And if you obey, Allah will give you a good reward, but if you turn back as you turned back before, He will castigate you with a painful torture. 48.17 - There is not upon the blind any blame or upon the lame any blame or upon the sick any blame. And whoever obeys Allah and His messenger, He will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow; but whoever turns back, He will castigate him with a painful torture. 48.18 - Certainly Allah was pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you under the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity upon them and rewarded them with a near conquest. 48.19 - And a lot of war booty which they will seize; and ever is Allah Mighty, Wise. 48.20 - Allah has promised you a lot of war booty which you will seize and has hastened for you this (conquest) and withheld the hands of the people from you, so that it may be a sign for the believers and that He may guide you to straight path.
