ثُمَّ Then أَنزَلَ He sent down عَلَيْكُم upon you مِّنۢ from بَعْدِ after ٱلْغَمِّ the distress أَمَنَةًۭ security نُّعَاسًۭا slumber يَغْشَىٰ overcoming طَآئِفَةًۭ a group مِّنكُمْ ۖ of you وَطَآئِفَةٌۭ while a group قَدْ certainly أَهَمَّتْهُمْ worried [them] أَنفُسُهُمْ (about) themselves يَظُنُّونَ thinking بِٱللَّهِ about Allah غَيْرَ other than ٱلْحَقِّ the truth ظَنَّ (the) thought ٱلْجَـٰهِلِيَّةِ ۖ (of) [the] ignorance يَقُولُونَ saying هَل Is (there) لَّنَا for us مِنَ from ٱلْأَمْرِ the matter مِن any شَىْءٍۢ ۗ thing قُلْ Say إِنَّ Indeed ٱلْأَمْرَ the matter كُلَّهُۥ all (of) it لِلَّهِ ۗ (is) for Allah يُخْفُونَ They hide فِىٓ in أَنفُسِهِم themselves مَّا what لَا not يُبْدُونَ they reveal لَكَ ۖ to you يَقُولُونَ They say لَوْ If كَانَ was لَنَا for us مِنَ from ٱلْأَمْرِ the matter شَىْءٌۭ anything مَّا not قُتِلْنَا we would have been killed هَـٰهُنَا ۗ here قُل Say لَّوْ If كُنتُمْ you were فِى in بُيُوتِكُمْ your houses لَبَرَزَ surely (would have) come out ٱلَّذِينَ those who كُتِبَ was decreed عَلَيْهِمُ upon them ٱلْقَتْلُ [the] death إِلَىٰ towards مَضَاجِعِهِمْ ۖ their places of death وَلِيَبْتَلِىَ And that might test ٱللَّهُ Allah مَا what فِى (is) in صُدُورِكُمْ your breasts وَلِيُمَحِّصَ and that He may purge مَا what فِى (is) in قُلُوبِكُمْ ۗ your hearts وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Aware بِذَاتِ of what ٱلصُّدُورِ (is in) the breasts ١٥٤

Then after distress, He sent down upon you security [in the form of] drowsiness, overcoming a faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking of Allāh other than the truth - the thought of ignorance, saying, "Is there anything for us [to have done] in this matter?" Say, "Indeed, the matter belongs completely to Allāh." They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could have done in the matter, we [i.e., some of us] would not have been killed right here." Say, "Even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds." [It was] so that Allāh might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts.

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who تَوَلَّوْا۟ turned back مِنكُمْ among you يَوْمَ (on the) day ٱلْتَقَى met ٱلْجَمْعَانِ the two hosts إِنَّمَا only ٱسْتَزَلَّهُمُ made them slip ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan بِبَعْضِ for some مَا (of) what كَسَبُوا۟ ۖ they (had) earned وَلَقَدْ And surely عَفَا forgave ٱللَّهُ Allah عَنْهُمْ ۗ [on] them إِنَّ indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah غَفُورٌ (is) Oft-Forgiving حَلِيمٌۭ All-Forbearing ١٥٥

Indeed, those of you who turned back on the day the two armies met [at Uḥud] - it was Satan who caused them to slip because of some [blame] they had earned. But Allāh has already forgiven them. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] لَا (Do) not تَكُونُوا۟ be كَٱلَّذِينَ like those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved وَقَالُوا۟ and they said لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ about their brothers إِذَا when ضَرَبُوا۟ they traveled فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth أَوْ or كَانُوا۟ they were غُزًّۭى fighting لَّوْ If كَانُوا۟ they had been عِندَنَا with us مَا not مَاتُوا۟ they (would have) died وَمَا and not قُتِلُوا۟ they (would have) been killed لِيَجْعَلَ So makes ٱللَّهُ Allah ذَٰلِكَ that حَسْرَةًۭ a regret فِى in قُلُوبِهِمْ ۗ their hearts وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يُحْىِۦ gives life وَيُمِيتُ ۗ and causes death وَٱللَّهُ and Allah بِمَا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do بَصِيرٌۭ (is) All-Seer ١٥٦

O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allāh makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allāh who gives life and causes death, and Allāh is Seeing of what you do.

وَلَئِن And if قُتِلْتُمْ you are killed فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah أَوْ or مُتُّمْ die[d] لَمَغْفِرَةٌۭ certainly forgiveness مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَرَحْمَةٌ and Mercy خَيْرٌۭ (are) better مِّمَّا than what يَجْمَعُونَ they accumulate ١٥٧

And if you are killed in the cause of Allāh or die - then forgiveness from Allāh and mercy are better than whatever they accumulate [in this world].
