11. The desert Arabs who
Lagged behind will
Say to thee:
"We were engaged in
(Looking after) our flocks
And herds, and our families:
Do thou then ask
Forgiveness for us.
They say with their tongues
What is not in their hearts.
Say: "Who then has
Any power at all
(To intervene) on your behalf
With God, if His Will
Is to give you some loss
Or to give you some profit?
But God is well acquainted
With all that ye do.

14. Walillahi mulku aLssamawati waAl-ardi yaghfiru liman yashao wayuAAaththibu man yashao wakana Allahu ghafooran raheemaN
14. To God belongs the dominion
Of the heavens and the earth:
He forgives whom He wills,
And He punishes whom He
Wills: but God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

15. Those who lagged behind
(Will say), when ye (are
Free to) march and take
Booty (in war): "Permit us
To follow you." They wish
To change God's decree:
Say: "Not thus
Will ye follow us:
God has already declared
(This) beforehand": then they
Will say, "But ye are
Jealous of us." Nay,
But little do they understand
(Such things).
