4567. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: During the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, some men among the hypocrites used to remain behind him (i.e., did not accompany him) when he went out for a Ghazwa and they would be pleased to stay at home behind Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ returned (from the battle) they would put forward (false) excuses and take oaths, wishing to be praised for what they had not done. So there was revealed: "Think not that those who rejoice in what they have done (or brought about) and love to be praised for what they have not done..." (V.3:188)
