Surah At-Taubah, Ayat 45-46

Ayat 45. It is only those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and whose hearts are in doubt that ask your leave (to be exempted from Jihad). So in their doubts they waver.
Ayat 46. And if they had intended to march out, certainly, they would have made some preparation for it, but Allah was averse to their being sent forth, so He made them lag behind, and it was said (to them), "Sit you among those who sit (at home)." 

Hazrat Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "I do not think that so-and-so understands anything of our Faith.'' [Al-Bukhari Hadith # 6067]
Al-Bukhari said: Al-Laith bin Saad, who is one of the narrators of this Hadith, said: The two men mentioned by the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) in this Hadith were hypocrites (i.e., they revealed Faith and concealed disbelief).
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah At-Taubah Ayat 45. "those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and whose hearts are in doubt that ask your leave (to be exempted from Jihad). Hypocrites are also people of mischievous and doubtful conduct specially regarding fighting for cause of Allah (SWT). It is, therefore, not only permissible but necessary to make people aware of their real position so that people become cautious about them and their religious and worldly life may remain safe from their machinations.
