Surah Ali 'Imran Ayah 152

Ali 'Imran · Ayah 152 · Juz 4 · Page 69

وَلَقَدۡ صَدَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَعۡدَهُۥٓ إِذۡ تَحُسُّونَهُم بِإِذۡنِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَشِلۡتُمۡ وَتَنَٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ وَعَصَيۡتُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَآ أَرَىٰكُم مَّا تُحِبُّونَۚ مِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمۡ عَنۡهُمۡ لِيَبۡتَلِيَكُمۡۖ وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا عَنكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٥٢

Wa laqad ṣadaqakumullāhu waʿdahū idh taḥussūnahum biʾidhnih, ḥattā idhā fashiltum wa tanāzaʿtum fil-amri wa ʿaṣaytum mim baʿdi mā arākum mā tuḥibbūn, minkum may yurīdud-dunyā wa minkum may yurīdul-ākhirah, thumma ṣarafakum ʿanhum liyabtaliyakum, wa laqad ʿafā ʿankum, wallāhu dhū faḍlin ʿalal-muʾminīn.

And Allāh had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them [i.e., the enemy] by His permission until [the time] when you lost courage and fell to disputing about the order [given by the Prophet (ﷺ)] and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love.1 Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you back from them [defeated] that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you, and Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the believers.
