At-Tawbah 81

فَرِحَ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلَافَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ وَكَرِهُٓوا اَنْ يُجَاهِدُوا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ وَقَالُوا لَا تَنْفِرُوا فِي الْحَرِّۜ قُلْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ اَشَدُّ حَرًّاۜ لَوْ كَانُوا يَفْقَهُونَ ۝٨١

81Those who stayed behind and sat at home instead of answering the call of His Messenger, who conveys Allah's messages, were pleased with this, and had no liking at all for fighting in Allah's way with their wealth and their lives. They even discouraged others, saying, "Do not go out to fight in this heat." Say: —The fire of Hell is hotter still; if only they could grasp this!
