  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    Behold! ye were climbing up The high ground, without even Casting a side glance At any one, and the Apostle In your rear was calling you Back. There did God give you One distress after another By way of requital, To teach you not to grieve For (the booty) that had escaped you And for (the ill) that had befallen you. For God is well aware Of all that ye do.

    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.

    Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:154

So We brought thee back To thy mother, that her eye Might be cooled and she Should not grieve. Then thou didst slay A man, but We saved thee From trouble, and We tried Thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry A number of years With the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither As ordained, O Moses!

    Surah Taha, verse 20:40
