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.
