Ali 'Imran 3:152
Family of Imran · 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
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.

Commentary on 3:152
﴿وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ وعْدَهُ﴾ أيْ وعْدَهُ إيّاكم بِالنَّصْرِ بِشَرْطِ التَّقْوى والصَّبْرِ، وكانَ كَذَلِكَ حَتّى خالَفَ الرُّماةُ فَإنَّ المُشْرِكِينَ لَمّا أقْبَلُوا جَعَلَ الرُّماةُ يَرْشُقُونَهم بِالنَّبْلِ والباقُونَ يَضْرِبُونَهم بِالسَّيْفِ حَتّى انْهَزَمُوا والمُسْلِمُونَ عَلى آثارِهِمْ. ﴿إذْ تَحُسُّونَهم بِإذْنِهِ﴾ تَقْتُلُونَهُمْ، مِن حِسِّهِ إذا أبْطَلَ حِسُّهُ. ﴿حَتّى إذا فَشِلْتُمْ﴾ جَبُنْتُمْ وضَعُفَ رَأْيُكُمْ، أوْ مِلْتُمْ إلى الغَنِيمَةِ فَإنَّ الحِرْصَ مِن ضَعْفِ العَقْلِ. ﴿وَتَنازَعْتُمْ في الأمْرِ﴾ يَعْنِي اخْتِلافَ الرُّماةِ حِينَ انْهَزَمَ المُشْرِكُونَ فَقالَ بَعْضُهم فَما مَوْقِفُنا هاهُنا، وقالَ آخَرُونَ لا نُخالِفُ أمْرَ الرَّسُولِ فَثَبَتَ مَكانَهُ أمِيرُهم في نَفَرٍ دُونَ العَشَرَةِ ونَفَرَ الباقُونَ لِلنَّهْبِ وهو المَعْنِيُّ بِقَوْلِهِ: ﴿وَعَصَيْتُمْ مِن بَعْدِ ما أراكم ما تُحِبُّونَ﴾ مِنَ الظَّفَرِ والغَنِيمَةِ وانْهِزامِ العَدُوِّ، وجَوابُ إذا مَحْذُوفٌ وهو امْتَحَنَكُمْ، ﴿مِنكم مَن يُرِيدُ الدُّنْيا﴾ وهُمُ التّارِكُونَ المَرْكَزَ لِلْغَنِيمَةِ.
﴿وَمِنكم مَن يُرِيدُ الآخِرَةَ﴾ وهُمُ الثّابِتُونَ مُحافَظَةً عَلى أمْرِ الرَّسُولِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ. ﴿ثُمَّ صَرَفَكم عَنْهُمْ﴾ ثُمَّ كَفَّكم عَنْهم حَتّى حالَتِ الحالُ فَغَلَبُوكم. ﴿لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْ﴾ عَلى المَصائِبِ ويَمْتَحِنَ ثَباتَكم عَلى الإيمانِ عِنْدَها. ﴿وَلَقَدْ عَفا عَنْكُمْ﴾ تَفَضُّلًا ولِما عَلِمَ مِن نَدَمِكم عَلى المُخالَفَةِ. ﴿واللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلى المُؤْمِنِينَ﴾ يَتَفَضَّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالعَفْوِ، أوْ في الأحْوالِ كُلِّها سَواءٌ أُدِيلَ لَهم أوْ عَلَيْهِمْ إذِ الِابْتِلاءُ أيْضًا رَحْمَةٌ.

3:149
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن تُطِيعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَرُدُّوكُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡقَٰبِكُمۡ فَتَنقَلِبُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ ١٤٩
O you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will [then] become losers.
3:150
بَلِ ٱللَّهُ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلنَّٰصِرِينَ ١٥٠
But Allāh is your protector, and He is the best of helpers.
3:151
سَنُلۡقِي فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلرُّعۡبَ بِمَآ أَشۡرَكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗاۖ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٥١
We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allāh of which He had not sent down [any] authority.1 And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.

3:153
۞ إِذۡ تُصۡعِدُونَ وَلَا تَلۡوُۥنَ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدٖ وَٱلرَّسُولُ يَدۡعُوكُمۡ فِيٓ أُخۡرَىٰكُمۡ فَأَثَٰبَكُمۡ غَمَّۢا بِغَمّٖ لِّكَيۡلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمۡ وَلَا مَآ أَصَٰبَكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٥٣
[Remember] when you [fled and] climbed [the mountain] without looking aside at anyone while the Messenger was calling you from behind. So Allāh repaid you with distress upon distress so you would not grieve for that which had escaped you [of victory and spoils of war] or [for] that which had befallen you [of injury and death]. And Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do.
