Tafsir of verse 12

Al-Mukhtasar

The excuse of being preoccupied with taking care of your wealth and children as presented by you was not the reason for remaining behind going out with him. Rather, you thought that the Messenger and his companions will all die and they won't return to their families in Madina. Satan also made this seem fine in your hearts and you had an evil thought about your Lord that He will not help His prophet. You were a ruined people because of the evil thought that you had about Allah and because of your remaining behind His messenger.

Other translations of verse 12

But you thought that the Messenger and the believers would never return to their families ever, and that was made appealing in your hearts. You harbored evil thoughts, for you are a doomed people.”

"Nay, but you thought that the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and the believers would never return to their families, and that was made fair-seeming in your hearts, and you did think an evil thought and you became a useless people going for destruction."

Nay, but ye deemed that the messenger and the believers would never return to their own folk, and that was made fairseeming in your hearts, and ye did think an evil thought, and ye were worthless folk.

"Nay, ye thought that the Messenger and the Believers would never return to their families; this seemed pleasing in your hearts, and ye conceived an evil thought, for ye are a people lost (in wickedness)."

Nay! you rather thought that the Messenger and the believers would not return to their families ever, and that was made fairseeming to your hearts and you thought an evil thought and you were a people doomed to perish.

No indeed, (but) you surmised that the Messenger and the believers would never come over to their own families at all, and that was adorned (i.e., made alluring) in your hearts, and you surmised woeful surmises, and you were a futile people."
