Surah 4:77
"Do you not see those to whom it was said, ‘Restrain your hands, and observe the prayer and give the alms’? Then, when fighting is prescribed for them, suddenly (there is) a group of them who fear the people as (much as) they fear God, or even more. And they say, ‘Our Lord, why have you prescribed fighting for us? Why not spare us for a time near (at hand)?’ Say: ‘The enjoyment of this world is a small thing, but the Hereafter is better for the one who guards (himself). You will not be done evil in the slightest.’"
4.77 â when fighting is prescribed for them
Some who are commanded to fight resist the command and ask Allah why he has stipulated fighting.
