Conditional (if/when)
لَوْ (If) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".
Sahih International
Had it been a near [i.e., easy] gain and a moderate trip, they [i.e., the hypocrites] would have followed you, but distant to them was the journey. And they will swear by Allāh, "If we were able, we would have gone forth with you," destroying themselves [through false oaths], and Allāh knows that indeed they are liars.
