Quote:Surah At Tawba 9:49
There are some of them who say, “Exempt me and do not expose me to temptation.”1 They have already fallen into temptation. And Hell will surely engulf the disbelievers. If a blessing befalls you ˹O Prophet˺, they grieve, but if a disaster befalls you, they say, “We took our precaution in advance,” and turn away, rejoicing. Say, “Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has destined for us. He is our Protector.” So in Allah let the believers put their trust.
And the text continues. It essentially considers the muslims who wanted to stay behind at the camp as disbelievers, as fuckers, as fags, as bags of shit. They deserve hell.
It also says that if Mohamed fails to gain victory, these guys would say “Glad I didn’t go. Glad I’m safe.”
The lines above might be documenting actual events and the lines are obviously written after these events.
It might be that Mohamed won that war. i don’t know.
It looks like Mohamed is pissed off that some able body men decided to not risk their lives.
My Reply:
Verse 49 also explains the condition of hypocrites. The hypocrites mentioned, who did not take part in the war, deserved punishment. Because they weaken the Muslims. And the prophet Muhammad did win in that war. Win without spending any energy in battle. Because the Roman army was afraid and did not dare to face the Muslim troops. And the Muslim troops went home because they had no one to fight.
However, no. This verse did not come down after the war ended. This verse came down when Muhammad invited people to join the war. The verse states that the hypocrites, when the Muslim troops win in the war, they would be resentful (because they would not had spoil of war). However, if the Muslims lose the war, they will rejoice and say things like: I told you not to join the war. That is the trait of cowardice revealed by Allah in the Quran. And so that it becomes a lesson for Muslims not to follow their path.
