Ali 'Imran 3:152 ولقد صدقكم الله وعده اذ تحسونهم باذنه حتى اذا فشلتم وتنازعتم في الامر وعصيتم من بعد ما اراكم ما تحبون منكم من يريد الدنيا ومنكم من يريد الاخرة ثم صرفكم عنهم ليبتليكم ولقد عفا عنكم والله ذو فضل على المومنين ١٥٢

Allah has surely fulfilled His promise to you when you, with His will, were killing them off, until you showed weakness and disputed in the matter and disobeyed after He had shown you what you liked.Among you there were some who were seeking the mundane, and among you there were others who were seeking the Hereafter. After that, He reversed your position against them, so that He may test you. Of course, He has forgiven you. Allah is All-Gracious to the believers.
