This verse reveals another fact that man's slides due to Satanic seductions, are the effects of former sins; because Satanic temptations will have no effect upon a pure and clear believing heart: ``Those of you who ran away in the battle of Ohud, were seduced by Satan, on account of some bad deeds they had done.'' Of course they were not as bad as the hypocrites who took away their forces before the encounter, or those who raided against Allah and His Messenger, or even those archers who thoughtlessly disobeyed the prophet's command, but still they have failed in their duty, and committed a heinous sin by running away, and yet we see that the Merciful Lord has forgiven them, to give them a chance for amendment.
