3.151 - We will cast horror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved for what they have associated with Allah of which He has not sent down an authority. And their refuge will be the fire, and miserable is the residence of the unjust. 3.152 - And Allah has certainly fulfilled His promise when you killed them by His permission, until when you failed and disputed about the affair and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who want this world, and among you are some who want the hereafter. Then He turned you away from them that He might try you. And He has certainly pardoned you, and Allah is the Possessor of grace upon the believers. 3.153 - When you climbed (the mountain) and did not look at anyone while the messenger was calling you from behind. So He gave you distress after distress so you would not grieve at what had escaped you or that which had struck you. And Allah is Acquainted of what you do. 3.154 - Then He sent down upon you, after distress, security, (like a) slumber overcoming a party of you, while another party worried about themselves, thinking of Allah other than the truth, (like) the thought of the ignorance, saying: Is there for us in the matter anything? Say: Indeed, the matter belongs completely to Allah. They conceal within themselves what they would not reveal to you. They say: If there was for us in the matter anything, we would not have been killed right here. Say: Even if you have been inside your homes, those decreed to be killed would have seen it (death) apparent in their beds. (Defeat was) so that Allah might try what is in your chests and purify what is in your hearts; and Allah is Knowing of what is in the chests. 3.155 - Indeed, those who turned back from among you on the day the two groups met. it was only the devil who caused them to slip because of some of what they earned. And Allah has certainly pardoned them; indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing. 3.156 - O you who have believed! Be not like those who have disbelieved and said to their brothers when they travelled in the land or engaged in fighting: If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed; so Allah makes that a regret in their hearts. And Allah gives life and causes death, and Allah is of what you do Seeing. 3.157 - And if you are killed in the way of Allah or you die, then forgiveness from Allah and mercy are better than what they accumulate. 3.158 - And whether you die or are killed, then to Allah you will be gathered. 3.159 - So by mercy from Allah, you were lenient with them. And if you have been rude, (and) hard hearted, they would have dispersed from around you; so pardon them and seek forgiveness for them, and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah; indeed, Allah loves those who rely. 3.160 - Indeed, If Allah should give you victory, then no one can overcome you; and if He should forsake you, then who is that who can give you victory after Him? And upon Allah let the believers rely.
