The Spoils of War · Madinah · Juz 9 · Mushaf page 177 of 604

يُجَٰدِلُونَكَ فِي ٱلۡحَقِّ بَعۡدَ مَا تَبَيَّنَ كَأَنَّمَا يُسَاقُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡمَوۡتِ وَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ ٦

English translation (Saheeh International)

Arguing with you concerning the truth after it had become clear, as if they were being driven toward death while they were looking on.

Brief commentary

This group of the believers argued with the Messenger about fighting the idolaters, after it had been made clear to them that it had to happen, as if they were being driven to death, looking at it with open eyes. Their reaction was due to their strong dislike of going out to fight, because they were not prepared or ready for it.
