Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Nor unto those whom, when they came to you (asking) that thou shouldest mount them) spend on them so that they take part in jihad. The reference here is to 'Abdullah Ibn Maghfal Ibn Yasar al-Muzani, Salim Ibn 'Umayr al-Ansari and their fellow Companions, (thou didst tell) them: (I cannot find) provision (whereon to mount you) for jihad. (They turned back) they left you (with eyes flowing with tears, for sorrow that they could not find the means to spend) for jihad.
