Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

The road (of blame) is only against those who ask for leave of thee (to stay at home) when they are rich. They are content to be with the useless. Allah hath sealed their hearts so that they know not.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The ground (of complaint) is against such as claim exemption while they are rich. They prefer to stay with the (women) who remain behind: Allah hath sealed their hearts; so they know not (What they miss).

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم رد تعالى الملامة على الذين يستأذنون في القعود وهم أغنياء ، وأنبهم في رضاهم بأن يكونوا مع النساء الخوالف في الرحال ، ( وطبع الله على قلوبهم فهم لا يعلمون ) .
