ولقد صدقكم الله وعده اذ تحسونهم باذنه حتى اذا فشلتم وتنازعتم في الامر وعصيتم من بعد ما اراكم ما تحبون منكم من يريد الدنيا ومنكم من يريد الاخرة ثم صرفكم عنهم ليبتليكم ولقد عفا عنكم والله ذو فضل على المؤمنين

God did indeed fulfil His promise to you When ye with His permission Were about to annihilate Your enemy,—until ye flinched And fell to disputing About the order, And disobeyed it After He brought you in sight (Of the Booty) which ye covet. Among you are some That hanker after this world And some that desire The Hereafter. Then did He Divert you from your foes In order to test you. But He forgave you: For God is full of grace To those who believe.
