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

Ani też względem tych, którym, kiedy przyszli do ciebie, abyś im dał środek transportu, powiedziałeś: "Nie znajduję nic na czym mógłbym was odprawić" - oni zaś odwrócili się, a ich oczy były przepełnione łzami smutku, iż nie znajdują nic, co by mogli wydać.
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.
