اَلْاَعْرَابُ اَشَدُّ كُفْرًا وَّنِفَاقًا وَّاَجْدَرُ اَلَّا یَعْلَمُوْا حُدُوْدَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی رَسُوْلِهٖ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟ٱلۡأَعۡرَابُ أَشَدُّ كُفۡرٗا وَنِفَاقٗا وَأَجۡدَرُ أَلَّا يَعۡلَمُواْ حُدُودَ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ٩٧

The desert Arabs are more intense in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits of what Allah has sent down to His Messenger. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

9:98

وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ یَّتَّخِذُ مَا یُنْفِقُ مَغْرَمًا وَّیَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوَآىِٕرَ ؕ عَلَیْهِمْ دَآىِٕرَةُ السَّوْءِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ مَن يَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ مَغۡرَمٗا وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ ٱلدَّوَآئِرَۚ عَلَيۡهِمۡ دَآئِرَةُ ٱلسَّوۡءِۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٞ ٩٨

Among the desert Arabs are those who regard what they spend as a loss and wait for misfortune to turn against you. May the turn of evil be upon them. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

9:99

وَمِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مَنْ یُّؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَیَتَّخِذُ مَا یُنْفِقُ قُرُبٰتٍ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَصَلَوٰتِ الرَّسُوْلِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّهَا قُرْبَةٌ لَّهُمْ ؕ سَیُدْخِلُهُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیْ رَحْمَتِهٖ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟۠وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ مَن يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَيَتَّخِذُ مَا يُنفِقُ قُرُبَٰتٍ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَصَلَوَٰتِ ٱلرَّسُولِۚ أَلَآ إِنَّهَا قُرۡبَةٞ لَّهُمۡۚ سَيُدۡخِلُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِي رَحۡمَتِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٩٩

And among the desert Arabs are those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and regard what they spend as a means of drawing closer to Allah and receiving the Messenger's prayers. It truly is a means of closeness for them. Allah will admit them into His mercy. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

9:100

وَالسّٰبِقُوْنَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُهٰجِرِیْنَ وَالْاَنْصَارِ وَالَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُمْ بِاِحْسَانٍ ۙ رَّضِیَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوْا عَنْهُ وَاَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِیْ تَحْتَهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهَٰجِرِينَ وَٱلۡأَنصَارِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُم بِإِحۡسَٰنٖ رَّضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُواْ عَنۡهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي تَحۡتَهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ١٠٠

As for the first and foremost among the Emigrants and the Helpers, and those who followed them with excellence, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will remain forever. That is the supreme success.

9:101

وَمِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَعْرَابِ مُنٰفِقُوْنَ ۛؕ وَمِنْ اَهْلِ الْمَدِیْنَةِ ؔۛ۫ مَرَدُوْا عَلَی النِّفَاقِ ۫ لَا تَعْلَمُهُمْ ؕ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْ ؕ سَنُعَذِّبُهُمْ مَّرَّتَیْنِ ثُمَّ یُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰی عَذَابٍ عَظِیْمٍ ۟ۚوَمِمَّنۡ حَوۡلَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ مُنَٰفِقُونَۖ وَمِنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ مَرَدُواْ عَلَى ٱلنِّفَاقِ لَا تَعۡلَمُهُمۡۖ نَحۡنُ نَعۡلَمُهُمۡۚ سَنُعَذِّبُهُم مَّرَّتَيۡنِ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَذَابٍ عَظِيمٖ ١٠١

Among the desert Arabs around you are hypocrites, and among the people of Madinah are some who have persisted in hypocrisy. You do not know them, but We know them. We will punish them twice, then they will be returned to a tremendous punishment.

9:102

وَاٰخَرُوْنَ اعْتَرَفُوْا بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ خَلَطُوْا عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَّاٰخَرَ سَیِّئًا ؕ عَسَی اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّتُوْبَ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟وَءَاخَرُونَ ٱعۡتَرَفُواْ بِذُنُوبِهِمۡ خَلَطُواْ عَمَلٗا صَٰلِحٗا وَءَاخَرَ سَيِّئًا عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٌ ١٠٢

And there are others who have admitted their sins, mixing a righteous deed with another that was bad. Allah may turn to them in mercy. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

9:103

خُذْ مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّیْهِمْ بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ صَلٰوتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟خُذۡ مِنۡ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ صَدَقَةٗ تُطَهِّرُهُمۡ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ إِنَّ صَلَوٰتَكَ سَكَنٞ لَّهُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ١٠٣

Take charity from their wealth to cleanse and purify them through it, and pray for them. Your prayer is a source of reassurance for them. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

9:104

اَلَمْ یَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ یَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَیَاْخُذُ الصَّدَقٰتِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِیْمُ ۟أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ يَقۡبَلُ ٱلتَّوۡبَةَ عَنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَأۡخُذُ ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١٠٤

Do they not know that Allah alone accepts repentance from His servants and receives charities, and that Allah is the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful?

9:105

وَقُلِ اعْمَلُوْا فَسَیَرَی اللّٰهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ؕ وَسَتُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰی عٰلِمِ الْغَیْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَیُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟ۚوَقُلِ ٱعۡمَلُواْ فَسَيَرَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمۡ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَۖ وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٠٥

And say, 'Act. Allah will see your deeds, as will His Messenger and the believers. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will tell you what you used to do.'

9:106

وَاٰخَرُوْنَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِاَمْرِ اللّٰهِ اِمَّا یُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَاِمَّا یَتُوْبُ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟وَءَاخَرُونَ مُرۡجَوۡنَ لِأَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمۡ وَإِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيۡهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ١٠٦

And there are others whose case is deferred until Allah's decision. He may punish them, or He may turn to them in mercy. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

9:107

وَالَّذِیْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَّكُفْرًا وَّتَفْرِیْقًا بَیْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ وَاِرْصَادًا لِّمَنْ حَارَبَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ وَلَیَحْلِفُنَّ اِنْ اَرَدْنَاۤ اِلَّا الْحُسْنٰی ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یَشْهَدُ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ ۟وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مَسۡجِدٗا ضِرَارٗا وَكُفۡرٗا وَتَفۡرِيقَۢا بَيۡنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَإِرۡصَادٗا لِّمَنۡ حَارَبَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ مِن قَبۡلُۚ وَلَيَحۡلِفُنَّ إِنۡ أَرَدۡنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَشۡهَدُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ ١٠٧

And there are those who built a mosque to cause harm, promote disbelief, divide the believers, and provide a base for one who had fought Allah and His Messenger before. They will surely swear, 'We intended nothing but good.' But Allah bears witness that they are certainly liars.

9:108

لَا تَقُمْ فِیْهِ اَبَدًا ؕ لَمَسْجِدٌ اُسِّسَ عَلَی التَّقْوٰی مِنْ اَوَّلِ یَوْمٍ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَقُوْمَ فِیْهِ ؕ فِیْهِ رِجَالٌ یُّحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ یَّتَطَهَّرُوْا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِیْنَ ۟لَا تَقُمۡ فِيهِ أَبَدٗاۚ لَّمَسۡجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ مِنۡ أَوَّلِ يَوۡمٍ أَحَقُّ أَن تَقُومَ فِيهِۚ فِيهِ رِجَالٞ يُحِبُّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّرُواْۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُطَّهِّرِينَ ١٠٨

Never stand in it. A mosque founded on mindfulness of Allah from its very first day is more worthy for you to stand in. In it are people who love to purify themselves, and Allah loves those who purify themselves.

9:109

اَفَمَنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْیَانَهٗ عَلٰی تَقْوٰی مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَانٍ خَیْرٌ اَمْ مَّنْ اَسَّسَ بُنْیَانَهٗ عَلٰی شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِهٖ فِیْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟أَفَمَنۡ أَسَّسَ بُنۡيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقۡوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضۡوَٰنٍ خَيۡرٌ أَم مَّنۡ أَسَّسَ بُنۡيَٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٖ فَٱنۡهَارَ بِهِۦ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٠٩

Who is better: one who founded his building on mindfulness of Allah and His pleasure, or one who founded his building on the edge of a crumbling cliff, which collapsed with him into the Fire of Hell? Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

9:110

لَا یَزَالُ بُنْیَانُهُمُ الَّذِیْ بَنَوْا رِیْبَةً فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوْبُهُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟۠لَا يَزَالُ بُنۡيَٰنُهُمُ ٱلَّذِي بَنَوۡاْ رِيبَةٗ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ إِلَّآ أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ١١٠

The building they built will remain a source of doubt in their hearts until their hearts are torn apart. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

9:111

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اشْتَرٰی مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَمْوَالَهُمْ بِاَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ ؕ یُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ فَیَقْتُلُوْنَ وَیُقْتَلُوْنَ ۫ وَعْدًا عَلَیْهِ حَقًّا فِی التَّوْرٰىةِ وَالْاِنْجِیْلِ وَالْقُرْاٰنِ ؕ وَمَنْ اَوْفٰی بِعَهْدِهٖ مِنَ اللّٰهِ فَاسْتَبْشِرُوْا بِبَیْعِكُمُ الَّذِیْ بَایَعْتُمْ بِهٖ ؕ وَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ ۟۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱشۡتَرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَأَمۡوَٰلَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلۡجَنَّةَۚ يُقَٰتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقۡتُلُونَ وَيُقۡتَلُونَۖ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقّٗا فِي ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ وَٱلۡإِنجِيلِ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِۚ وَمَنۡ أَوۡفَىٰ بِعَهۡدِهِۦ مِنَ ٱللَّهِۚ فَٱسۡتَبۡشِرُواْ بِبَيۡعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي بَايَعۡتُم بِهِۦۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ ١١١

Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their wealth in return for Paradise. They fight in Allah's way, killing and being killed. This is a true promise binding upon Him in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. And who is more faithful to His promise than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him. That is the supreme success.

9:112

اَلتَّآىِٕبُوْنَ الْعٰبِدُوْنَ الْحٰمِدُوْنَ السَّآىِٕحُوْنَ الرّٰكِعُوْنَ السّٰجِدُوْنَ الْاٰمِرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَالنَّاهُوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَالْحٰفِظُوْنَ لِحُدُوْدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟ٱلتَّٰٓئِبُونَ ٱلۡعَٰبِدُونَ ٱلۡحَٰمِدُونَ ٱلسَّٰٓئِحُونَ ٱلرَّٰكِعُونَ ٱلسَّٰجِدُونَ ٱلۡأٓمِرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَٱلنَّاهُونَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَٱلۡحَٰفِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١١٢

They are those who repent, worship, praise, journey in devotion, bow, prostrate, encourage what is right, discourage what is wrong, and keep within Allah's limits. Give good news to the believers.

9:113

مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِیِّ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَنْ یَّسْتَغْفِرُوْا لِلْمُشْرِكِیْنَ وَلَوْ كَانُوْۤا اُولِیْ قُرْبٰی مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمْ اَنَّهُمْ اَصْحٰبُ الْجَحِیْمِ ۟مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَن يَسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ لِلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ وَلَوۡ كَانُوٓاْ أُوْلِي قُرۡبَىٰ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمۡ أَنَّهُمۡ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ١١٣

It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they are close relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are people of the Blazing Fire.

9:114

وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ لِاَبِیْهِ اِلَّا عَنْ مَّوْعِدَةٍ وَّعَدَهَاۤ اِیَّاهُ ۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَیَّنَ لَهٗۤ اَنَّهٗ عَدُوٌّ لِّلّٰهِ تَبَرَّاَ مِنْهُ ؕ اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ لَاَوَّاهٌ حَلِیْمٌ ۟وَمَا كَانَ ٱسۡتِغۡفَارُ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَن مَّوۡعِدَةٖ وَعَدَهَآ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥٓ أَنَّهُۥ عَدُوّٞ لِّلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنۡهُۚ إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لَأَوَّٰهٌ حَلِيمٞ ١١٤

Abraham's asking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to Abraham that he was an enemy of Allah, he disassociated himself from him. Abraham was truly tender-hearted and forbearing.

9:115

وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیُضِلَّ قَوْمًا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدٰىهُمْ حَتّٰی یُبَیِّنَ لَهُمْ مَّا یَتَّقُوْنَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ ۟وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِلَّ قَوۡمَۢا بَعۡدَ إِذۡ هَدَىٰهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يُبَيِّنَ لَهُم مَّا يَتَّقُونَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ ١١٥

Allah would never let a people go astray after guiding them until He makes clear to them what they must guard against. Allah has full knowledge of everything.

9:116

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ یُحْیٖ وَیُمِیْتُ ؕ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّلَا نَصِیْرٍ ۟إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۚ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٖ ١١٦

To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death. Apart from Allah, you have no protecting ally and no helper.

9:117

لَقَدْ تَّابَ اللّٰهُ عَلَی النَّبِیِّ وَالْمُهٰجِرِیْنَ وَالْاَنْصَارِ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُ فِیْ سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا كَادَ یَزِیْغُ قُلُوْبُ فَرِیْقٍ مِّنْهُمْ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِهِمْ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟ۙلَّقَد تَّابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِيِّ وَٱلۡمُهَٰجِرِينَ وَٱلۡأَنصَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ فِي سَاعَةِ ٱلۡعُسۡرَةِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا كَادَ يَزِيغُ قُلُوبُ فَرِيقٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِهِمۡ رَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ ١١٧

Allah has certainly turned in mercy to the Prophet, the Emigrants, and the Helpers who followed him in the hour of hardship, after the hearts of a group of them nearly wavered. Then He turned to them in mercy. He is truly Most Kind and Most Merciful to them.

9:118

وَّعَلَی الثَّلٰثَةِ الَّذِیْنَ خُلِّفُوْا ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَیْهِمْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّوْۤا اَنْ لَّا مَلْجَاَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّاۤ اِلَیْهِ ؕ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَیْهِمْ لِیَتُوْبُوْا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِیْمُ ۟۠وَعَلَى ٱلثَّلَٰثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ خُلِّفُواْ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ضَاقَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتۡ وَضَاقَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَن لَّا مَلۡجَأَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّآ إِلَيۡهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ لِيَتُوبُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١١٨

And He turned in mercy to the three whose case had been left pending, until the earth, vast as it is, closed in on them, and their own souls closed in on them, and they realized there was no refuge from Allah except with Him. Then He turned to them in mercy so that they could repent. Allah is indeed the Accepter of Repentance, the Most Merciful.

9:119

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَكُوْنُوْا مَعَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ ۟يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ١١٩

O you who believe, be mindful of Allah and be with those who are truthful.

9:120

مَا كَانَ لِاَهْلِ الْمَدِیْنَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُمْ مِّنَ الْاَعْرَابِ اَنْ یَّتَخَلَّفُوْا عَنْ رَّسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا یَرْغَبُوْا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ ؕ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ لَا یُصِیْبُهُمْ ظَمَاٌ وَّلَا نَصَبٌ وَّلَا مَخْمَصَةٌ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَلَا یَطَـُٔوْنَ مَوْطِئًا یَّغِیْظُ الْكُفَّارَ وَلَا یَنَالُوْنَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ نَّیْلًا اِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ بِهٖ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ ۟ۙمَا كَانَ لِأَهۡلِ ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ أَن يَتَخَلَّفُواْ عَن رَّسُولِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَرۡغَبُواْ بِأَنفُسِهِمۡ عَن نَّفۡسِهِۦۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ لَا يُصِيبُهُمۡ ظَمَأٞ وَلَا نَصَبٞ وَلَا مَخۡمَصَةٞ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَطَـُٔونَ مَوۡطِئٗا يَغِيظُ ٱلۡكُفَّارَ وَلَا يَنَالُونَ مِنۡ عَدُوّٖ نَّيۡلًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عَمَلٞ صَٰلِحٌۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١٢٠

It was not for the people of Madinah and the desert Arabs around them to stay behind Allah's Messenger or to prefer their own comfort to his. That is because whenever they suffer thirst, exhaustion, or hunger in Allah's way, take any step that enrages those who reject faith, or gain any advantage over an enemy, a righteous deed is recorded for them because of it. Allah never lets the reward of those who do good go to waste.
