ثم انزل عليكم من بعد الغم امنة نعاسا يغشى طائفة منكم وطائفة قد اهمتهم انفسهم يظنون بالله غير الحق ظن الجاهلية يقولون هل لنا من الامر من شيء قل ان الامر كله لله يخفون في انفسهم ما لا يبدون لك يقولون لو كان لنا من الامر شيء ما قتلنا هاهنا قل لو كنتم في بيوتكم لبرز الذين كتب عليهم القتل الى مضاجعهم وليبتلي الله ما في صدوركم وليمحص ما في قلوبكم والله عليم بذات الصدور

After (the excitement) Of the distress, He sent down Calm on a band of you Overcome with slumber, While another band Was stirred to anxiety By their own feelings, Moved by wrong suspicions Of God—suspicions due To Ignorance. They said: "What affair is this of ours?" Say thou: "Indeed, this affair Is wholly God's." They hide In their minds what they Dare not reveal to thee. They say (to themselves): "If we had had anything To do with this affair, We should not have been In the slaughter here." Say: "Even if you had remained In your homes, those For whom death was decreed Would certainly have gone forth To the place of their death"; But (all this was) That God might test What is in your breasts And purge what is In your hearts. For God knoweth well The secrets of your hearts.
