when ye were on the near bank and they were on the yonder bank and the caravan was below you . and had ye trysted to meet one another ye surely would have failed to keep the tryst but that allah might conclude a thing that must be done that he who perished might perish by a clear proof and he who survived might survive by a clear proof . lo! allah in truth is hearer knower.
إذ أنتم بالعدوة الدنيا وهم بالعدوة القصوى والركب أسفل منكم ولو تواعدتم لاختلفتم في الميعاد ولكن ليقضي الله أمرا كان مفعولا ليهلك من هلك عن بينة ويحيى من حي عن بينة وإن الله لسميع عليم
