(Muhammad Assad)
48:15 As soon as you [O believers] are about to set forth on a war that promises booty, those who stayed behind [aforetime] will surely say, Allow us to go with you - [thus showing that] they would like to alter the Word of God. Say: By no means shall you go with us: God has declared aforetime [to whom all spoils shall belong]. Thereupon they will [surely] answer, Nay, but you begrudge us [our share of booty]! Nay, they can grasp but so little of the truth!48:15

(Yousaf Ali)
48:15 Those who lagged behind (will say), when ye (are free to) march and take booty (in war): "Permit us to follow you." They wish to change Allah's decree: Say: "Not thus will ye follow us: Allah has already declared (this) beforehand": then they will say, "But ye are jealous of us." Nay, but little do they understand (such things).48:15
