لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرٖیبًا وَسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَاتَّبَعُوكَ وَلٰكِنْ بَعُدَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الشُّقَّةُؕ وَسَیَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّٰهِ لَوِ اسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْۚ یُهْلِكُونَ اَنْفُسَهُمْۚ وَاللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَࣖ
Law kana AAaradan qareeban wasafaran qasidan laittabaAAooka walakin baAAudat AAalayhimu alshshuqqatu wasayahlifoona biAllahi lawi istataAAna lakharajna maAAakum yuhlikoona anfusahum waAllahu yaAAlamu innahum lakathiboona
Translations
Had it been an easy gain and a moderate trip, the hypocrites would have followed you, but distant to them was the journey. And they will swear by Allah, "If we were able, we would have gone forth with you," destroying themselves [through false oaths], and Allah knows that indeed they are liars
Saheeh International
Had it been a near adventure and an easy journey they had followed thee, but the distance seemed too far for them. Yet will they swear by Allah (saying): If we had been able we would surely have set out with you. They destroy their souls, and Allah knoweth that they verily are liars
