P: And when a surah is revealed (which saith): Believe in Allah and
strive along with His messenger, the men of wealth among them still ask

good things and these it is who shall be successful.

and came to claim exemption; and those who were false to Allah and His
Messenger (merely) sat inactive. Soon will a grievous penalty seize the
Unbelievers among them.

P: And those among the wandering Arabs who had an excuse came in order
that permission might be granted them. And those who lied to Allah and
His messenger sat at home. A painful doom will fall on those of them
who disbelieve.

S: And the defaulters from among the dwellers of the desert came that
permission may be given to them and they sat (at home) who lied to
Allah and His Messenger; a painful chastisement shall afflict those of
them
