Those who remained behind will say when you set out toward the war booty to take it, "Let us follow you." They wish to change the words of Allah. Say, "Never will you follow us. Thus did Allah say before." So they will say, "Rather, you envy us." But [in fact] they were not understanding except a little.
— Sahih International
يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُبَدِّلُواْ كَلَـمَ اللَّهِ (They want to change Allah's Words), which refers to the promise that Allah gave those who were present at Al-Hudaybiyyah, according to the explanation reported from Mujahid, Qatadah, Juwaybir and which Ibn Jarir preferred. Allah said, قُل لَّن تَتَّبِعُونَا كَذَلِكُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ (Say: "You shall not follow us; thus Allah has said beforehand.") `when He promised the participants of Al-Hudaybiyyah before you asked to join them,' فَسَيَقُولُونَ بَلْ تَحْسُدُونَنَا (Then they will say: "Nay, you envy us.") `you do not want us to share the war spoils with you,' بَلْ كَانُواْ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً (Nay, but they under- stand not except a little.) the truth is nothing close to what they claimed, but they understand not.
