AL AHZAB (GOLONGAN YANG BERSEKUTU) — Ayat 13

13

وَإِذْ قَالَت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوا وَيَسْتَأْذِنُ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ وَمَا هِيَ بِعَوْرَةٍ إِن يُرِيدُونَ إِلَّا فِرَارًا

And when a faction of them said, "O people of Yathrib, there is no stability for you [here], so return [home]." And a party of them asked permission of the Prophet, saying, "Indeed, our houses are unprotected," while they were not exposed. They did not intend except to flee.

Tafsir

{And when a party of them said} meaning the hypocrites {O people of Yathrib} it is the land of Medina and it was not declined for the sake of knowledge and the weight of the verb {there is no place for you} with the mim with a damma or a fatha: meaning no residence or place {so return} to your homes from Medina. They had gone out with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, to Sal’ mountain outside Medina to fight. {And a party of them asked permission of the Prophet} to return {saying, “Indeed, our houses are vulnerable”} not fortified and feared for. God Almighty said: {And they are not vulnerable. They only want to flee} from the fighting.
