Surah Aal-i-Imraan

Then after distress, He sent down upon you security [in the form of] drowsiness, overcoming a faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking of Allah other than the truth - the thought of ignorance, saying, "Is there anything for us [to have done] in this matter?" Say, "Indeed, the matter belongs completely to Allah." They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could have done in the matter, some of us would not have been killed right here." Say, "Even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds." [It was] so that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts.﴿154

Simplified Tafsir

ثم كان من رحمة الله بالمؤمنين المخلصين أن ألقى في قلوبهم من بعد ما نزل بها من همٍّ وغمٍّ اطمئنانًا وثقة في وعد الله، وكان من أثره نعاس غَشِي طائفة منهم، وهم أهل الإخلاص واليقين، وطائفة أُخرى أهمَّهم خلاص أنفسهم خاصة، وضَعُفَتْ عزيمتهم وشُغِلوا بأنفسهم، وأساؤوا الظن بربهم وبدينه وبنبيه، وظنوا أن الله لا يُتِمُّ أمر رسوله، وأن الإسلام لن تقوم له قائمة، ولذلك تراهم نادمين على خروجهم، يقول بعضهم لبعض: هل كان لنا من اختيار في الخروج للقتال؟ قل لهم -أيها الرسول-: إن الأمر كلَّه لله، فهو الذي قدَّر خروجكم وما حدث لكم، وهم يُخْفون في أنفسهم ما لا يظهرونه لك من الحسرة على خروجهم للقتال، يقولون: لو كان لنا أدنى اختيار ما قُتِلنا هاهنا. قل لهم: إن الآجال بيد الله، ولو كنتم في بيوتكم، وقدَّر الله أنكم تموتون، لخرج الذين كتب الله عليهم الموت إلى حيث يُقْتلون، وما جعل الله ذلك إلا ليختبر ما في صدوركم من الشك والنفاق، وليميز الخبيث من الطيب، ويظهر أمر المؤمن من المنافق للناس في الأقوال والأفعال. والله عليم بما في صدور خلقه، لا يخفى عليه شيء من أمورهم.
