فَإِنْ رَجَعَكَ اللَّهُ إِلَى طَائِفَةٍ مِنْهُمْ فَاسْتَأْذَنُوكَ لِلْخُرُوجِ فَقُلْ لَنْ تَخْرُجُوا مَعِيَ أَبَدًا وَلَنْ تُقَاتِلُوا مَعِيَ عَدُوًّا إِنَّكُمْ رَضِيتُمْ بِالْقُعُودِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَاقْعُدُوا مَعَ الْخَالِفِينَ ﴿۸۳﴾ وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ ﴿۸۴﴾ وَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَالُهُمْ وَأَوْلَادُهُمْ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنْفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ ﴿۸۵﴾

﴾83﴿ So if Allah brings you back to a group of them and they ask your permission to go out (for jihad), say: "You shall never go out with me ever, and you shall never fight any enemy with me. Indeed, you were content to stay behind the first time, so remain with those who stay behind."
﴾84﴿ And never pray (the funeral prayer) over any of them who dies, nor stand at his grave. Indeed, they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died while they were defiantly disobedient.
﴾85﴿ And do not let their wealth or their children amaze you. Allah only intends to punish them through these in this world, and that their souls depart while they are disbelievers.

[83] This verse is also a warning to the hypocrites, and it contains a prohibition for them in the future regarding joining jihad.
Since these verses were revealed during the Expedition of Tabuk, Allah said: (فَإِنْ رَجَعَكَ اللَّهُ) – If Allah returns you (O Prophet), referring to the Prophet’s return from that journey.
(الْخَالِفِينَ) – refers to those who stayed behind, including women, children, and the weak. However, in this context, it also refers to the corrupt ones, as the word khālifīn can mean those who remained behind out of disobedience.
According to al-Farrā’, khālifīn can also mean those who opposed.
Note: This verse is evidence that those who oppose the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) should not be accompanied or supported, as also mentioned by Fakhr al-Razi in his Tafsir.
(إِلَى طَائِفَةٍ) – refers to a group, possibly because some of them later believed, or some passed away before the Prophet's return.
Alternatively, the ṭā’ifah refers to the group of hypocrites, since among those who stayed behind there were also some true believers.
[84] This verse is connected to the previous one, and the phrase here is a continuation of the command (فَقُلْ) in meaning, but not included under (فَاسْتَأْذَنُوكَ).
This verse is also a warning to the hypocrites, and it expresses the prohibition of praying over their bodies after death and making du‘ā’ for them.
(وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ) – The meaning is that it was the habit of the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) that after someone was buried and the grave was prepared, he would stand by the grave and make du‘ā’.
He would also do this when visiting graves. However, in the case of the hypocrites, he was prohibited from following this practice.
This is evidence that standing beside a grave to make du‘ā’ is Sunnah.
(عَلَى قَبْرِهِ) – Here, "‘alā" means "‘inda" (beside/near), because standing on top of a grave is not permissible.
(إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا) – This is the reason given for the prohibition of praying over them or standing at their graves to pray: they disbelieved.
(فَاسِقُونَ) – Indicates that they openly displayed disbelief and sinful behavior.
[85] This verse is a refutation of a misconception (wahm). If someone were to assume that due to the hypocrites’ wealth or children, it would be permissible to perform funeral prayer over them—this verse answers that misconception.
This is a separate ruling concerning the hypocrites and is connected to the earlier command (لَا تُصَلِّ) — “Do not pray over them.”
Question: This same verse (in meaning) already appeared earlier in verse 55, so what is the benefit of repeating it here?
Answer: In the earlier verse, it was brought with "فـَ" (fa) to show a consequence, specifically to prohibit accepting their charity or spending.
But in this verse, it is brought again to refute the specific misconception mentioned above—namely, that wealth or children could make them worthy of prayer after death.
Thus, the repetition serves a distinct purpose in each context.
