يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَا لَكُمۡ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ ٱنفِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱثَّاقَلۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ أَرَضِيتُم بِٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مِنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ فَمَا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ

O you who have believed, what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allāh, you adhere heavily to the earth?475 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.

Translator notes (1)

Tafsir · 9:38

Al-Mukhtasar

O you who believed in Allah and His Messenger and did what He legislated to them. What is the matter with you if you were called to the Jihad (striving/fighting) for the sake of Allah to fight your enemy, you slowed down, and you tend to settle in your homes?! Have you been satisfied with the fleeting enjoyment of this worldly life and its intermittent pleasures instead of the everlasting bliss of the Hereafter that Allah has prepared for the Mujahideen (the fighters) for His sake?! The enjoyment of this worldly life in comparison to the Hereafter is nothing but despicable, so how can a sane person choose a mortal over an eternal and a despicable over a great?!
