Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), there were some hypocrites who, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for jihad, would stay behind in Madinah and would be very happy about staying behind. But when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned, they would present excuses and swear oaths. In fact, they liked to be praised for deeds they had not done, and later tried to make things up with smooth talk. Allah Almighty revealed this verse about them:“Those who rejoice for what they have done, and love to be praised for what they did not do, do not think they are safe from the punishment; for them is a painful punishment.”(Aal-e-Imran: 188)
