እናንተ በቅርቢቱ ዳርቻ ኾናችሁ እነርሱም በሩቂቱ ዳርቻ ኾነው የነጋዴዎቹም ጭፍራ ከናንተ በታች ሲኾኑ በሰፈራችሁ ጊዜ ( ያደረግንላችሁን አስታውሱ ) ፡ ፡ በተቃጠራችሁም ኖሮ በቀጠሮው በተለያያችሁ ነበር ፡ ፡ ግን አላህ ሊሠራው የሚገባውን ነገር ሊፈጽም የሚጠፋ ሰው ከአስረጅ በኋላ እንዲጠፋ ሕያው የሚኾንም ሰው ከአስረጅ በኋላ ሕያው እንዲኾን ( ያለቀጠሮ አጋጠማችሁ ) ፡ ፡ አላህም በእርግጥ ሰሚ ዐዋቂ ነው ፡ ፡
( And remember ) when you ( the Muslim army ) were on the near side of the valley , and they on the farther side , and the caravan on the ground lower than you . Even if you had made a mutual appointment to meet , you would certainly have failed in the appointment , but ( you met ) that Allah might accomplish a matter already ordained ( in His Knowledge ) ; so that those who were to be destroyed ( for their rejecting the Faith ) might be destroyed after a clear evidence , and those who were to live ( i.e. believers ) might live after a clear evidence .
