Sura 9
Aya 42
42
لَو كانَ عَرَضًا قَريبًا وَسَفَرًا قاصِدًا لَاتَّبَعوكَ وَلٰكِن بَعُدَت عَلَيهِمُ الشُّقَّةُ ۚ وَسَيَحلِفونَ بِاللَّهِ لَوِ استَطَعنا لَخَرَجنا مَعَكُم يُهلِكونَ أَنفُسَهُم وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ إِنَّهُم لَكاذِبونَ

Had the gain been near and the journey easy, they would have followed you, but the distant journey was tiresome for them. And they will swear by Allah, “Had we been able to, we would have certainly gone forth with you.” They destroy themselves and Allah knows that they are liars. (R 6)
