Chapter 3, Page 72, Juz 4

165. How is it that, when you suffered a hardship the twice of which you had inflicted upon them, you say, “Where did this come from?” Say, “This is from your own selves. Allah is surely Powerful over everything.” 166. Whatever you suffered on the day when the two troops faced each other was by the will of Allah, and in order to know the believers, 167. and in order to know those who are hypocrites. It was said to them, “Come on, fight in the way of Allah, or defend.” They said, “Had we known it to be a fight we would have certainly followed you.” That day, they were nearer to disbelief than they were to Belief. They utter from their mouths what is not in their hearts. Allah knows well what they conceal. 168. Those who said about their brethren, while themselves sitting, “Had they obeyed us, they would have not been killed.” Say, “Then avert death from yourselves if you are true.” 169. Never take those killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, well-provided, 170. happy with what Allah has given them of His grace; and they feel pleased with the good news, about those left behind them who could not join them, that there shall be no fear for them nor shall they grieve. 171. They feel pleased with blessing from Allah, and grace, and with the fact that Allah would not let the reward of the believers be lost.
