Al-Anfal 8:42 اذ انتم بالعدوة الدنيا وهم بالعدوة القصوى والركب اسفل منكم ولو تواعدتم لاختلفتم في الميعاد ولاكن ليقضي الله امرا كان مفعولا ليهلك من هلك عن بينة ويحيى من حي عن بينة وان الله لسميع عليم ٤٢
إِذۡ
أَنتُم
بِٱلۡعُدۡوَةِ
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
وَهُم
بِٱلۡعُدۡوَةِ
ٱلۡقُصۡوَىٰ
وَٱلرَّكۡبُ
أَسۡفَلَ
مِنكُمۡۚ
وَلَوۡ
تَوَاعَدتُّمۡ
لَٱخۡتَلَفۡتُمۡ
فِي
ٱلۡمِيعَٰدِ
وَلَٰكِن
لِّيَقۡضِيَ
ٱللَّهُ
أَمۡرٗا
كَانَ
مَفۡعُولٗا
لِّيَهۡلِكَ
مَنۡ
هَلَكَ
عَنۢ
بَيِّنَةٖ
وَيَحۡيَىٰ
مَنۡ
حَيَّ
عَنۢ
بَيِّنَةٖۗ
وَإِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
لَسَمِيعٌ

Even if you had made a mutual appointment to meet, you would certainly have failed in the appointment, but (you met) that Allâh 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, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
