and god made good his promise to you when by his leave you were about to destroy your foes but then your courage failed you and you disagreed among yourselves and disobeyed it after he had brought you within sight of what you wished for some of you desired the goods of this world and some of you desired the hereafter then in order that he might put you to the test he prevented you from defeating your foes. but now he has pardoned you god is most gracious to the believers.
ولقد صدقكم الله وعده إذ تحسونهم بإذنه حتى إذا فشلتم وتنازعتم في الأمر وعصيتم من بعد ما أراكم ما تحبون منكم من يريد الدنيا ومنكم من يريد الآخرة ثم صرفكم عنهم ليبتليكم ولقد عفا عنكم والله ذو فضل على المؤمنين
