Maarif-ul-Quran (En) - At-Tawba : 44
لَا یَسْتَاْذِنُكَ الَّذِیْنَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ اَنْ یُّجَاهِدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ اَنْفُسِهِمْ١ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالْمُتَّقِیْنَ
Those who believe in Allah and in the Last Day do not ask you to be excused from jihad with their wealth and lives. And Allah is aware of the God-fearing.
In the second (44) and third (45) verses given there was the difference between believers and hypocrites. Those who believe in Allah Ta` ala truly and staunchly do not pick an occasion like that only to seek desertion from Jihad just for the sake of love for their lives and wealth and go about asking the permission of their prophet to stay back. In fact, this is the behavior of only those who do not believe in Allah and the Day of Judgment (Akhirah), truly and correctly - and, as for Allah, He knows the God-fearing perfectly well.
