Ahmed Ali

Blame will lie on those who are rich yet ask your leave to stay behind. They prefer to stay with women who stay at home, and God seals their hearts; so they do not understand.

Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (the road (of blame) is only against those who ask for leave of thee) to stay at home (when they are rich) these are 'abdullah ibn ubayy, jadd ibn qays, mu'attib ibn qushayr and their host who were about 70 men. (they are content to be with the useless) with the women and children. (allah hath sealed their hearts so that they know not) allah's command nor do they genuinely believe.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : the way [of blame] is only against those who ask leave of you, to stay behind, when they are rich. they are content to be with those who stay behind and god has set a seal on their hearts, so that they do not know: a similar statement has already been made.
