Sura 48
Aya 15
15
سَيَقولُ المُخَلَّفونَ إِذَا انطَلَقتُم إِلىٰ مَغانِمَ لِتَأخُذوها ذَرونا نَتَّبِعكُم ۖ يُريدونَ أَن يُبَدِّلوا كَلامَ اللَّهِ ۚ قُل لَن تَتَّبِعونا كَذٰلِكُم قالَ اللَّهُ مِن قَبلُ ۖ فَسَيَقولونَ بَل تَحسُدونَنا ۚ بَل كانوا لا يَفقَهونَ إِلّا قَليلًا

The sedentary who stay behind will say, when you are expected to collect spoils of war, "Let us follow you to share in this!" They thus wish to alter GOD's words. Say, "You will not follow us. This is GOD's decision." They will then say, "You must be envious of us (for staying behind)." Indeed, they rarely understood anything.
