At-Tawbah 9:122 ۞ وما كان المومنون لينفروا كافة فلولا نفر من كل فرقة منهم طايفة ليتفقهوا في الدين ولينذروا قومهم اذا رجعوا اليهم لعلهم يحذرون ١٢٢

9:122
۞ وَمَا
كَانَ
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ

إِذَا
رَجَعُوٓاْ
إِلَيۡهِمۡ
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
يَحۡذَرُونَ

Chapter 9, Page 206, Juz 11

119. O ye who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful. 120. It is not for the townsfolk of Al-Madinah and for those around them of the wandering Arabs so stay behind the messenger of Allah and prefer their lives to his life. That is because neither thirst nor toil nor hunger afflicteth them in the way of Allah, nor step they any step that angereth the disbelievers, nor gain they from the enemy a gain, but a good deed is recorded for them therefor. Lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the good. 121. Nor spend they any spending, small or great, nor do they cross a valley, but it is recorded for them, that Allah may repay them the best of what they used to do. 122. And the believers should not all go out to fight. Of every troop of them, a party only should go forth, that they (who are left behind) may gain sound knowledge in religion, and that they may warn their folk when they return to them, so that they may beware.
