O believers ! hat is the matter with you that when you are asked to march forth in the cause of Allah, you cling firmly to ˹your˺ land ? Do you prefer the life of this world over the Hereafter ? The enjoyment of this worldly life is insignificant compared to that of the Hereafter. If you do not march forth, He will afflict you with a painful torment and replace you with other people. You are not harming Him in the least. And Allah is Most Capable of everything. Quran 9:38~39
The name of the surah, at-Taubah is derived from ت و ب and it occurs 87 times in the Quran. Interestingly, this surah has the highest usage of the words derived from ت و ب compared to all other surahs – it is used 17 times.
In Ayat 118, occurs the case of the three companions whom Allah turned to and accepted their tawbah to Him – those who had abstained from joining the Jihad at the Battle of Tabuk.

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَا لَكُمۡ إِذَا قِیلَ لَكُمُ ٱنفِرُوا۟ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱثَّاقَلۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ أَرَضِیتُم بِٱلۡحَیَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا مِنَ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِۚ فَمَا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِیلٌ    إِلَّا تَنفِرُوا۟ یُعَذِّبۡكُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِیمࣰا وَیَسۡتَبۡدِلۡ قَوۡمًا غَیۡرَكُمۡ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَیۡءࣰاۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ قَدِیرٌ 
This is the only Sūrah of the Qur’ān to which ‘In the Name of God, Most Gracious Most Merciful’ is not prefixed. Though the commentators have given different reasons for this, the correct one that which has been given by Imām Razi: namely this is because the Prophet himself did not dictate it at the beginning of the Sūrah. Therefore the Companions did not prefix it and their successors followed them. This is a further proof of the fact that utmost care has been taken to keep the Qur’ān intact so that it should remain in its complete and original form.
اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، تمہیں کیا ہو گیا کہ جب تم سے اللہ کی راہ میں نکلنے کے لیے کہا گیا تو تم زمین سے چمٹ کر رہ گئے؟ کیا تم نے آخرت کے مقابلہ میں دنیا کی زندگی کو پسند کر لیا؟ ایسا ہے تو تمہیں معلوم ہو کہ دنیوی زندگی کا یہ سب سروسامان آخرت میں بہت تھوڑا نکلے گا تم نہ اٹھو گے تو خدا تمہیں دردناک سزا دے گا، اور تمہاری جگہ کسی اور گروہ کو اٹھائے گا، اور تم خدا کا کچھ بھی نہ بگاڑ سکو گے، وہ ہر چیز پر قدرت رکھتا ہے
