وَلَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا مَآ أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَآ أَجِدُ مَآ أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ تَوَلَّوا۟ وَّأَعْيُنُهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعِ حَزَنًا أَلَّا يَجِدُوا۟ مَا يُنفِقُونَ
Wa laa 'alal lazeena izaa maaa atawka litahmilahum qulta laaa ajidu maaa ahmilukum 'alaihi tawallaw wa a'yunuhum tafeedu minaddam'i hazanan allaa yajidoo maa yunfiqoon
اور نہ ان (بےسروسامان) لوگوں پر (الزام) ہے کہ تمہارے پاس آئے کہ ان کو سواری دو اور تم نے کہا کہ میرے پاس کوئی ایسی چیز نہیں جس پر تم کو سوار کروں تو وہ لوٹ گئے اور اس غم سے کہ ان کے پاس خرچ موجود نہ تھا، ان کی آنکھوں سے آنسو بہہ رہے تھے
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.
