[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called out for an expedition against the Arabs, but they hesitated. Then, the verse was revealed: "If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment" [Surah At-Tawbah 9:39]. The punishment mentioned here was the deprivation of rain.
رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَنْفَرَ حَيًّا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَتَثَاقَلُوا فَنَزَلَتْ {إِلَّا تَنْفِرُوا يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا} [التوبة 39] قَالَ كَانَ عَذَابُهُمْ حَبْسَ الْمَطَرِ عَنْهُمْ
[Machine] From the saying of Allah Almighty: "Unless you march forth, He will punish you with a painful torment." [Surah At-Tawbah 9:39], he said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to dispatch an army from the living Arabs to fight, but they hesitated. As a result, Allah prevented the rain from falling on them, and that became a punishment for them."
عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ {إِلَّا تَنْفِرُوا} [التوبة 39] يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا قَالَ «اسْتَنْفَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيًّا مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَتَثَاقَلُوا فَأُمْسِكَ عَنْهُمُ الْمَطَرُ وَكَانَ عَذَابُهُمْ»
[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became upset with the Arabs and they became slow, so (the verse) 'Unless you go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment' [Surah At-Tawbah: 39] was revealed. He said their punishment was the withholding of rain from them."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْتَنْفَرَ حَيًّا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَتَثَاقَلُوا فَنَزَلَتْ {إِلَّا تَنْفِرُوا يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا} [التوبة 39] قَالَ كَانَ عَذَابُهُمْ حَبْسَ الْمَطَرِ عَنْهُمْ
