Ali 'Imran 3:167 وليعلم الذين نافقوا وقيل لهم تعالوا قاتلوا في سبيل الله او ادفعوا قالوا لو نعلم قتالا لاتبعناكم هم للكفر يوميذ اقرب منهم للايمان يقولون بافواههم ما ليس في قلوبهم والله اعلم بما يكتمون ١٦٧

3:167
وَلِيَعۡلَمَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
نَافَقُواْۚ
وَقِيلَ
لَهُمۡ
تَعَالَوۡاْ
قَٰتِلُواْ
فِي
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِ
أَوِ
ٱدۡفَعُواْۖ
قَالُواْ
لَوۡ
نَعۡلَمُ
قِتَالٗا
لَّٱتَّبَعۡنَٰكُمۡۗ
هُمۡ
لِلۡكُفۡرِ
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
أَقۡرَبُ
مِنۡهُمۡ
لِلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ
يَقُولُونَ
بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِم
مَّا
لَيۡسَ
فِي
قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ
وَٱللَّهُ
أَعۡلَمُ
بِمَا
يَكۡتُمُونَ

And the Hypocrites also. These were told: "Come, fight in the way of Allah, or (at least) drive (The foe from your city)." They said: "Had we known how to fight, we should certainly have followed you." They were that day nearer to Unbelief than to Faith, saying with their lips what was not in their hearts but Allah hath full knowledge of all they conceal.

The Reason and Wisdom Behind the Defeat at Uhud

Allah said,

أَوَ لَمَّا أَصَـبَتْكُمْ مُّصِيبَةٌ

Chapter 3, Page 72, Juz 4

165. What! When a single disaster smites you, although ye smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, do ye say?- "Whence is this?" Say (to them): "It is from yourselves: For Allah hath power over all things." 166. What ye suffered on the day the two armies Met, was with the leave of Allah, in order that He might test the believers,- 167. And the Hypocrites also. These were told: "Come, fight in the way of Allah, or (at least) drive (The foe from your city)." They said: "Had we known how to fight, we should certainly have followed you." They were that day nearer to Unbelief than to Faith, saying with their lips what was not in their hearts but Allah hath full knowledge of all they conceal. 168. (They are) the ones that say, (of their brethren slain), while they themselves sit (at ease): "If only they had listened to us they would not have been slain." Say: "Avert death from your own selves, if ye speak the truth." 169. Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; 170. They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah: And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve. 171. They glory in the Grace and the bounty from Allah, and in the fact that Allah suffereth not the reward of the Faithful to be lost (in the least).

- A. Yusuf Ali
