quran:9:41 –

Go forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah. That is better for you, if you only knew.  

Go forth, light and heavy!, that is, energetically or not; it is also said ˹to mean˺, ˹go forth˺ strong or weak, or rich or poor — but this was abrogated by the verse, The weak would not be at fault … ˹Q. 9:91˺. Struggle in the way of God with your possessions and your lives: that is better for you, if only you knew, that it is better for you; so do not sink down heavily.
القرآن:٩:٤١ –

انْفِرُوا خِفَافًا وَثِقَالًا وَجَاهِدُوا بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ  

{انفِروا خفافا وثقالا} نشاطا وغير نشاط، وقيل أقوياء وضعفاء، أو أغنياء وفقراء، وهي منسوخة بآية (ليس على الضعفاء) {وجاهدوا بأموالكم وأنفسكم في سبيل الله ذلكم خير لكم إن كنتم تعلمون} أنه خير لكم فلا تثاقلوا.
