92Nor (is there any blame) on those who, when they came to you so that you might provide them with a carrier (that they could ride for Jihād ) and you said (to them), “I find no carrier to give to you”, went back with their eyes flowing with tears in grief, because they had nothing to spend.

Commentary

The original is: her tears overflow, then he explained her overflow with his saying: ﴿out of sadness﴾ then he explained their sadness with his saying: ﴿that they do not find﴾ meaning: for their not finding ﴿what to spend﴾ so their sadness is truly over missing your companionship and being in your party, and this is the story of the weepers which he made clear even though they are included in ﴿those who do not find﴾ [At-Tawbah: 91] to show their honor and to affirm that the sincere advisor - even if he strives - cannot do without pardon, as he clarified that they - with their striving to obtain the means and their regret at missing them with what their eyes overflowed - are among those who have no way against them or among those who have no hardship upon them, the forgiven.
