وَلَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا مَآ أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَآ أَجِدُ مَآ أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَلَّوا۟ وَّأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلَّا يَجِدُوا۟ مَا يُنفِقُونَ

dan tiada (pula dosa) atas orang-orang yang apabila mereka datang kepadamu, supaya kamu memberi mereka kendaraan, lalu kamu berkata, "Aku tidak memperoleh kendaraan untuk membawamu", lalu mereka kembali, sedang mata mereka bercucuran air mata karena kesedihan, lantaran mereka tidak memperoleh apa yang akan mereka nafkahkan.
Nor is there blame upon those who came to you seeking mounts, and you said, "I find nothing on which to carry you" — they turned away, their eyes overflowing with tears, grieving that they had nothing to spend.
These men are remembered as al-bakkāʾūn, the weepers: Companions too poor to supply their own mounts for the march to Tabuk. One verb, wajada, to find, runs through the scene, since the Prophet finds nothing to carry them and they grieve that they find no means of giving, so the same lack sits on both sides of the conversation. Their tears are the evidence of sincerity that the previous verse made the condition of the exemption.
