مَا كَانَ لِأهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُمْ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ يَرْغَبُوا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ عَنْ نَفْسِه ِِ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ لاَ يُصِيبُهُمْ ظَمَأ ٌ وَلاَ نَصَب ٌ وَلاَ مَخْمَصَة ٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ يَطَئُونَ مَوْطِئا ً يَغِيظُ الْكُفَّارَ وَلاَ يَنَالُونَ مِنْ عَدُوّ ٍ نَيْلا ً إِلاَّ كُتِبَ لَهُمْ بِه ِِ عَمَل ٌ صَالِح ٌ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

It is not advisable for the dwellers of the city and those around them of the Nomads that they should lag behind after the messenger of God, nor should they yearn for themselves above him. That is because any thirst that will come to them, or fatigue, or hunger in the cause of God, or any step that they take which will annoy the rejecters, or any gain they have over any enemy; it will be recorded as a good deed for them. God does not waste the reward of the good doers.
33:27
وَأَوْرَثَكُمْ أَرْضَهُمْ وَدِيَارَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَأَرْضا ً لَمْ تَطَئُوهَا وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ قَدِيرا ً
Wa 'Awrathakum 'ArĐahum Wa Diyārahum Wa 'Amwālahum Wa 'ArĐāan Lam Taţa'ūhā Wa Kāna Allāhu `Alá Kulli Shay'in Qadīrāan
And He made you inherit their lands, and their homes, and their money, and lands you had never stepped on; and God is able to do all things.

They are the ones who rejected and barred you from the Restricted Temple, and barred your donations from reaching their destination. And there had been believing men and believing women whom you did not know, and you may have hurt them, and on whose account you would have incurred a sin unknowingly. God will admit into His mercy whoever He wills. Had they become separated, We would then have punished those from them who rejected with a painful retribution.

Know that the use of the additional month causes an increase in rejection, for it is used by those who have rejected that they may misguide with it by making it lawful one year, and forbidden one year, so as to circumvent the count of what God has made restricted; thus they make lawful what God has made forbidden. Their evil works have been adorned for them, and God does not guide the rejecting people.
