Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Admonishing Those Who did not join the JihadAllah chastises and admonishes those who stayed away from Jihad and refrained from performing it, even though they had the supplies, means and ability to join it. They asked the Messenger for permission to stay behind, saying, ذَرْنَا نَكُنْ مَّعَ الْقَـعِدِينَ("Leave us (behind), we would be with those who sit (at home)") thus accepting for themselves the shame of lagging behind with women, after the army had left.
