and recall when you were encamped at the nearer end of the valley and they were at the farther end and the caravan below you . had you made a mutual appointment to meet in encounter you would have declined. but encounter was brought about so that allah might accomplish what he had decreed and that he who was to perish should perish through a clear proof and who was to survive might survive through a clear proof. surely allah is allhearing allknowing.
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
