The misinterpretation
If they wanted to go out (to war), of course, they would have made preparations for it. But God saw their behavior as ugly and put them back. It was said to them, "Sit down with those sitting (women and children).
The right translation
If they desired to go (to battle), they would have made preparations for it. But they were upon ill-intended deeds towards Allah. They became among those who sit with those who are sitting (women and children).
Explanation
This is where this verse also goes wrong: Allah saw their behavior ugly and put them back. The truth is: But they were ugly in their behavior against Allah. They have become of those who sit with those who sit (women and children).
The reason for opening these Verses incorrectly is that they do not comprehend the meaning of Verse 172 of Surah al-A'râf. The origin of the wrong Verses opened in this way is based on the 172nd Verse of Surah A'râf. Our Lord has never ruled over human beings by exercising His will over them. If our Lord was going to exercise His will over us, why did He make a covenant with us? Every human being is born to prove what kind of a human being he is. Did you think that you would die without proving what kind of a human being you are? He says. In this case, our Lord does not interfere in any of the affairs of human beings in this world. It is only when they are going to go beyond their destiny that He brings them into it.

Indeed, it says, indeed, by giving the liars permission, the truthful became fully clear to you.
Look what it says in verse 46. If they had wanted to go out to battle, they would surely have made some preparation for it, it says. So in order not to go out to battle, he said "I'm coming too". They (?). In fact some among them had an agreement with the other side. When it came to the fighting, they would run away, pull back, and through the weak points the enemy would push in on them. That's why the Messenger of Allah, knowing this, sends the liars away and stays with the truthful. Yes. What does it say now? If they had wanted to go out to battle, they would surely have made some preparation for it.
First I'm reading the, the wrong one. These parts are correct. But Allah found their conduct ugly and held them back, it says. Now Allah held them back. He took the person's will away from him. Your conduct is bad. There is something in your heart. There is hypocrisy. You go back. How do you know? Maybe I wasn't going to go back. Quite so. Now here they blame Allah. That is, they let the person off here. They always lay the blame on Allah. But Allah found their conduct ugly and held them back. They were told: sit with those who sit, with the women and children, it says. They were told to sit. So he sits.
That's what He told me. So I sit too. So, with the women (?), I said. So I sat. Now look: if they had wanted to go out to battle, they would surely have made some preparation for it. But they were engaged in ugly conduct towards Allah. They were engaged in ugly conduct towards Allah. What does it say here? But Allah found their conduct ugly, it says. Here: they were engaged in ugly conduct towards Allah. They became of those who sit with those who sit, with the women and children. That is, they turned back. They joined them. What does it say here? Sit with the women and children, they were told, it says.
They say it by attributing it to Allah. The reward and sin a person earned by the deeds of his own will – it wipes them away. They make Allah Almighty commit these offences.
You understand the things here, I suppose. Yes.
