Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Say) O Muhammad: (If your fathers, and your sons, and your brethren, and your wives, and your tribe) your folk who are in Mecca, (and the wealth ye have acquired) you have earned, (and merchandise for which ye fear that there will be no sale) that will not be spent in Medina, (and dwellings) houses (ye desire) to live in (are dearer to you than Allah) than Allah's obedience (and His messenger) and dearer to you than migrating to His Messenger (and striving in His way) for the sake of His obedience: (then wait till Allah bringeth His command to pass) His punishment, i.e. killing upon the Conquest of Mecca. Those who migrated after this (Allah guideth not) He does not lead to His religion (wrong-doing folk) the disbelievers: those who not deserve it.
