فَإِن رَّجَعَكَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَىٰ طَآئِفَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ فَٱسْتَـْٔذَنُوكَ لِلْخُرُوجِ فَقُل لَّن تَخْرُجُوا۟ مَعِىَ أَبَدًا وَلَن تُقَـٰتِلُوا۟ مَعِىَ عَدُوًّا ۖ إِنَّكُمْ رَضِيتُم بِٱلْقُعُودِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَٱقْعُدُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلْخَـٰلِفِينَ

Allah seni geri döndürüp, onlardan bir toplulukla karşılaştırdığı zaman, senden savaşa çıkmak için izin isterlerse, de ki: "Benimle asla çıkamayacaksınız, benim yanımda hiçbir düşmanla savaşmıyacaksınız; çünkü baştan, oturup kalmaya razı oldunuz. Artık geri kalanlarla beraber oturun."
So if God brings you back to a group of them and they ask your permission to go out to battle, say, 'You will never go out with me, ever, nor fight an enemy alongside me. You were content to sit back the first time, so sit now with those who stay behind.'
The judgment turns on contentment: they were pleased to sit out the first time, and the sentence handed down uses that same verb, so sitting becomes both their choice and their penalty. The refusal is put into the Prophet's mouth as a form of words to say, which makes the exclusion a public one, delivered to their faces and heard by them.
