When the archers in Ohud, proceeded to desert their posts in their craving for booty; their commander told them not to do so; because the prophet will consider you and your share in division of the spoils. The commander stayed firm until he was martyred, but some of the archers with low motives, showed suspicion and doubt about the prophet's division of the spoils, and left their battle-posts! To this effect this verse was sent down to say: ``Do you really think that the prophet may divide the spoils unjustly and betray you in your share of booty!? Not so! not ever so! `No prophet can ever betray.'' And in particular the prophet of Islam, Mohammad, who besides his gentleness of nature and adherence to justice, was known from his earliest life for his trustworthiness; so much so that his people and citizens gave him the title of `Amin' which means the trustworthy.

      Of course it is evident that betrayal of any kind, and from anyone, is a bad characteristic and morally condemned, be it from a saint or a layman, but because the hypocrites, and objecters, in relation with the failure in Ohud aimed at the prophet, the verse begins with exonerating the prophet saying: ``NO prophet will, and can, ever betray anyone in anything.'' And as for those other than the apostles who may betray; they will come on the stage of the Dooms Day, carrying the burden of their betrayal with them, and have to give an account of it. There in the Resurrection every soul shall be paid in full what it has done or earned, and no one shall be oppressed the least in the final judgement.

      To say it in other word; men of God do not act from unworthy motives, and should not be judged by the same standards that are used on the men of greed.
