If you were required to march forth, then march forth | |

' Indeed, fighting is as the Ayah describes it, as it includes being killed, wounded, striving against the enemies and enduring the hardship of travel | and that you like a thing which is bad for you |
Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it.
21and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you, meaning, fighting is followed by victory, dominance over the enemy, taking over their lands, money and offspring | This Ayah is general in meaning |

If he is not needed, then he remains behind | Whoever remains behind is required to give support, if support is warranted; to provide aid, if aid is needed; and to march forth, if he is commanded to do so |
meaning, He has better knowledge than you of how things will turn out to be in the end, and of what benefits you in this earthly life and the Hereafter.
27But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you | |
