and when you were encamped on the nearside and they on the farther side with the caravan below had you made an appointment with them you would have surely failed to keep it but allah sought to accomplish what he had ordained so that by clear evidence he who was destined to perish might perish and he who was destined to live might live. surely allah is hearing knowing.
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
