وَإِذَا
أُنزِلَتْ
سُورَةٌ
أَنْ
آمِنُوا
بِاللَّهِ
وَجَاهِدُوا
مَعَ
رَسُولِهِ
اسْتَأْذَنَكَ
أُولُو
الطَّوْلِ
مِنْهُمْ
وَقَالُوا
ذَرْنَا
نَكُن
مَّعَ
الْقَاعِدِينَ

When a chapter of the Quran is revealed telling them to believe in God and fight along with His Messenger for His cause against His enemies, the healthy and rich ones of them ask you to exempt them from taking part in the battle for the cause of God and to let them stay home with the people who are of no help in the battle.
