سُوْرَةُ الْاَحْزَابِ
Surah Al-Ahzaab (33) — Ayah 18
۞ قَدْ يَعْلَمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُعَوِّقِينَ مِنكُمْ وَٱلْقَآئِلِينَ لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ هَلُمَّ إِلَيْنَا ۖ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ ٱلْبَأْسَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ﴿18﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Allâh already knows those among you who keep back (men) from fighting in Allâh’s Cause, and those who say to their brethren "Come here towards us," while they (themselves) come not to the battle except a little,

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 18) ➊ { قَدْ يَعْلَمُ اللّٰهُ الْمُعَوِّقِيْنَ۠ مِنْكُمْ … :} That is, Allah Almighty knows among you those people who also prevent others from jihad and say to their friends and family members that instead of putting yourselves in danger, come to us and stay comfortably at home like us. The hypocrites are meant by this.
➋ { وَ لَا يَاْتُوْنَ الْبَاْسَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا :} That is, sometimes they come just for show and to have their names registered.
➋ { وَ لَا يَاْتُوْنَ الْبَاْسَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا :} That is, sometimes they come just for show and to have their names registered.
