(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. And surely, Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Kumbukeni pale mlipo kuwa nyinyi kwenye ng'ambo ya karibu ya bonde, na wao wakawa ng'ambo ya mbali, na msafara ulipo kuwa chini yenu. Na ingeli kuwa mmeagana mngeli khitalifiana katika miadi. Lakini (mkakutana) ili Mwenyezi Mungu atimize jambo lilio kuwa lazima litendeke, kwa sababu aangamie wa kuangamia kwa dalili zilizo dhaahiri, na asalimike wa kusalimika kwa dalili zilizo dhaahiri. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kusikia Mwenye kujua.
