9:44
لا يستاذنك الذين يومنون بالله واليوم الاخر ان يجاهدوا باموالهم وانفسهم والله عليم بالمتقين ٤٤
لَا يَسْتَـْٔذِنُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ أَن يُجَـٰهِدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلْمُتَّقِينَ ٤٤
لَا
يَسۡتَـٔۡذِنُكَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
بِٱللَّهِ
وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ
ٱلۡأٓخِرِ
أَن
يُجَٰهِدُواْ
بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ
وَأَنفُسِهِمۡۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
عَلِيمُۢ
بِٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day do not ask for exemption from striving with their wealth and their lives. And Allah has perfect knowledge of those who are mindful ˹of Him˺.

You are reading a tafsir for the group of verses 9:44 to 9:45

In the second (44) and third (45) verses given there was the difference between believers and hypocrites. Those who believe in Allah Ta` ala truly and staunchly do not pick an occasion like that only to seek desertion from Jihad just for the sake of love for their lives and wealth and go about asking the permission of their prophet to stay back. In fact, this is the behavior of only those who do not believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment (Akhirah), truly and correctly - and, as for Allah, He knows the God-fearing perfectly well.
