9:38

یَٓا اَیُّهَا الَّذٖینَ اٰمَنُوا مَا لَكُمْ اِذَا قٖیلَ لَكُمُ انْفِرُوا فٖی سَبٖیلِ اللّٰهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ اِلَى الْاَرْضِؕ اَرَضٖیتُمْ بِالْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا مِنَ الْاٰخِرَةِۚ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا قَلٖیلٌ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ma lakum itha qeela lakumu infiroo fee sabeeli Allahi iththaqaltum ila alardi aradeetum bialhayati alddunya mina alakhirati fama mataAAu alhayati alddunya fee alakhirati illa qaleelun

Translations

O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth? Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter? But what is the enjoyment of worldly life compared to the Hereafter except a [very] little

Saheeh International

O ye who believe! What aileth you that when it is said unto you: Go forth in the way of Allah, ye are bowed down to the ground with heaviness. Take ye pleasure in the life of the world rather than in the Hereafter? The comfort of the life of the world is but little in the Hereafter
