وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَکُمُ اللهُ وَعْدَهُ إِذْ تَحُسُّونَهُمْ بِإِذْنِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ وَتَنَـازَعْتُمْ فِى الاَْمْرِ وَعَصَیْتُم مِّن بَعْدِ مَآ أَرَاکُم مَّا تُحِبُّونَ مِنکُم مَّن یُرِیدُ الدُّنْیَا وَمِنکُم مَّن یُرِیدُ الاَْخِرَةَ ثُمَّ صَرَفَکُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِیَبْتَلِیَکُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنکُمْ وَاللهُ ذُو فَضْل عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِینَ (( 152 ))

152- AND ALLAH FULFILLED HIS PROMISE TO YOU (TO MAKE YOU VICTORIOUS IN OHUD) WHEN BY HIS LEAVE YOU SLEW THEM, UNTIL YOU ENFEEBLED, AND DISPUTED ABOUT THE ORDER, AND DISOBEYED IT, AFTER HE HAD SHOWN YOU THAT WHICH YOU LOVE. AMONG YOU ARE SOME WHO INTEND THIS WORLD, AND OF YOU ARE SOME WHO INTEND THE LAST. THEN HE DIVERTED YOU FROM THEM, (FROM YOUR FOES) IN ORDER TO TEST YOU. AND HE FORGAVE YOU, AND ALLAH IS GRACIOUS TO THE FAITHFULS.

إِذْ تُصْعِدُونَ وَلاَ تَلْوُنَ عَلَى أَحَد وَالرَّسُولُ یَدْعُوکُمْ فِی أُخْرَاکُمْ فَأَثَـابَکُمْ غَمَّاً بِغَمٍّ لِّکَیْلاَ تَحْزَنُواْ عَلَى مَا فَاتَکُمْ وَلاَ مَآ أَصَـابِکُمْ وَاللهُ خَبِیرُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ(( 153 ))

153- WHEN YOU WERE GOING UP (YOU FLED IN PANIC AND WERE GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN OF OHUD) WITHOUT CASTING A GLANCE TO ANY ONE, AND THE MESSENGER WAS CALLING YOU IN YOUR REAR. THEN SMOTE YOU GRIEF AFTER GRIEF, THAT YOU MAY NOT SORROW FOR WHAT ESCAPED YOU (OF BOOTY) AND NEITHER FOR THE ILL THAT HAD BEFALLEN YOU, AND ALLAH IS AWARE OF WHATEVER YOU DO.

ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَیْکُمْ مِن بَعْدِ الْغَمِّ أَمَنَةً نُّعَاساً یَغْشَى طَآئفَةً مِّنکُمْ وَطَآئفَةٌ قَدْ أَهَمَّتْهُمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ یَظُنُّونَ بِاللهِ غَیْرَ الْحَقِّ ظَنَّ الْجَـاهِلِیّةِ یَقُولُونَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ الاَْمْرِ مِن شَىْء قُلْ إِنَّ الاَْمْرَ کُلَّهُ للهِ یُخْفُونَ فِی أَنفُسِهِم مَّا لاَ یُبْدُونَ لَکَ یَقُولُونَ لَوْ کَانَ لَنَا مِنَ الاَْمْرِ شَىْءٌ مَّا قُتِلْنَا هَـهُنَا قُل لَّوْ کُنتُمْ فِی بُیُوتِکُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِینَ کُتِبَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْقَتْلُ إِلَى مَضَاجِعِهِمْ وَلِیَبْتَلِىَ اللهُ مَا فِى صُدُورِکُمْ وَلُِیمَحِّصَ مَا فِى قُلُوبِکُمْ وَاللهُ عَلِیمُ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ(( 154 ))

154- THEN AFTER THE SORROW HE SENT DOWN SECURITY UPON YOU, A SLUMBER OVERCOMING A PARTY OF YOU, WHILE ANOTHER PARTY WERE WORRYING ABOUT THEIR SELVES, (SO MUCH SO THAT THEY COULDN'T GO TO ASLEEP) THINKING UNJUST AND PAGANISH THOUGHT ABOUT ALLAH; SAYING: `IS ANYTHING OF THIS AFFAIR FOR US?' SAY: `THE AFFAIR BELONGS TO ALLAH ENTIRELY. (EVERYTHING IS IN THE HANDS OF ALLAH.) THEY CONCEAL IN THEMSELVES THAT WHICH THEY NOT REVEAL TO YOU .... THEY SAY: `HAD WE ANYTHING OF THE AFFAIRS (ABOUT WHICH ALL DECISIONS WERE TAKEN BY ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER- T.N.) WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SLAIN HERE.' (IN THE BATTLE - FIELD OF OHUD) SAY: `EVEN IF YOU WERE IN YOUR HOUSES, THOSE FOR WHOM SLAYING WAS PRESCRIBED, WOULD BE OUT, TO GO TO THEIR GRAVES NEVERTHELESS.' (THEY WOULD BE SLAIN ANYHOW!) AND THAT ALLAH MIGHT TEST WHAT WAS IN YOUR BREASTS, AND THAT HE MIGHT PURGE WHAT WAS IN YOUR HEARTS. AND ALLAH KNOWS WHATEVER IS IN THE CHESTS.
