3:145

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ اَنْ تَمُوْتَ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ كِتٰبًا مُّؤَجَّلًا ؕ وَمَنْ یُّرِدْ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْیَا نُؤْتِهٖ مِنْهَا ۚ وَمَنْ یُّرِدْ ثَوَابَ الْاٰخِرَةِ نُؤْتِهٖ مِنْهَا ؕ وَسَنَجْزِی الشّٰكِرِیْنَ ۟وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفۡسٍ أَن تَمُوتَ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ كِتَٰبٗا مُّؤَجَّلٗاۗ وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَا وَمَن يُرِدۡ ثَوَابَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَاۚ وَسَنَجۡزِي ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ ١٤٥

No soul can die except by Allah’s permission, at a time already written. Whoever desires the reward of this world, We will give them some of it, and whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter, We will give them some of it. We will reward the grateful.

3:146

وَكَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ نَّبِیٍّ قٰتَلَ ۙ مَعَهٗ رِبِّیُّوْنَ كَثِیْرٌ ۚ فَمَا وَهَنُوْا لِمَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوْا وَمَا اسْتَكَانُوْا ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ ۟وَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِيّٖ قَٰتَلَ مَعَهُۥ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٞ فَمَا وَهَنُواْ لِمَآ أَصَابَهُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُواْ وَمَا ٱسۡتَكَانُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ١٤٦

How many a prophet fought, with many devoted followers alongside him. They did not lose heart because of what struck them in Allah’s cause, nor did they weaken or give in. Allah loves those who are patient.

3:147

وَمَا كَانَ قَوْلَهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوْا رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوْبَنَا وَاِسْرَافَنَا فِیْۤ اَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَی الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟وَمَا كَانَ قَوۡلَهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا ٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسۡرَافَنَا فِيٓ أَمۡرِنَا وَثَبِّتۡ أَقۡدَامَنَا وَٱنصُرۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ١٤٧

Their only words were, “Our Lord, forgive us our sins and our excesses in our affairs, make our feet firm, and help us against the people who reject faith.”

3:148

فَاٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْیَا وَحُسْنَ ثَوَابِ الْاٰخِرَةِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ ۟۠فَـَٔاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَحُسۡنَ ثَوَابِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١٤٨

So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. Allah loves those who do good.

3:149

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تُطِیْعُوا الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یَرُدُّوْكُمْ عَلٰۤی اَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوْا خٰسِرِیْنَ ۟يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن تُطِيعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَرُدُّوكُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡقَٰبِكُمۡ فَتَنقَلِبُواْ خَٰسِرِينَ ١٤٩

Believers, if you obey those who reject faith, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will return as losers.

3:150

بَلِ اللّٰهُ مَوْلٰىكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ خَیْرُ النّٰصِرِیْنَ ۟بَلِ ٱللَّهُ مَوۡلَىٰكُمۡۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلنَّٰصِرِينَ ١٥٠

Rather, Allah is your Protector, and He is the best of helpers.

3:151

سَنُلْقِیْ فِیْ قُلُوْبِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ بِمَاۤ اَشْرَكُوْا بِاللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ یُنَزِّلْ بِهٖ سُلْطٰنًا ۚ وَمَاْوٰىهُمُ النَّارُ ؕ وَبِئْسَ مَثْوَی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟سَنُلۡقِي فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱلرُّعۡبَ بِمَآ أَشۡرَكُواْ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يُنَزِّلۡ بِهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗاۖ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٥١

We will cast fear into the hearts of those who reject faith because they associated with Allah what He had given no authority for. Their home will be the Fire. What a terrible home for wrongdoers.

3:152

وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَعْدَهٗۤ اِذْ تَحُسُّوْنَهُمْ بِاِذْنِهٖ ۚ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا فَشِلْتُمْ وَتَنَازَعْتُمْ فِی الْاَمْرِ وَعَصَیْتُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ مَاۤ اَرٰىكُمْ مَّا تُحِبُّوْنَ ؕ مِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یُّرِیْدُ الدُّنْیَا وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ یُّرِیْدُ الْاٰخِرَةَ ۚ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ لِیَبْتَلِیَكُمْ ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا عَنْكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟وَلَقَدۡ صَدَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَعۡدَهُۥٓ إِذۡ تَحُسُّونَهُم بِإِذۡنِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَشِلۡتُمۡ وَتَنَٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ وَعَصَيۡتُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَآ أَرَىٰكُم مَّا تُحِبُّونَۚ مِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرِيدُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمۡ عَنۡهُمۡ لِيَبۡتَلِيَكُمۡۖ وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا عَنكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٥٢

Allah certainly fulfilled His promise to you when, by His permission, you were defeating them, until you lost courage, disputed about the command, and disobeyed after He had shown you what you loved. Some of you wanted this world and some wanted the Hereafter. Then He turned you away from them to test you, yet He has already pardoned you. Allah is full of favor to the believers.

3:153

اِذْ تُصْعِدُوْنَ وَلَا تَلْوٗنَ عَلٰۤی اَحَدٍ وَّالرَّسُوْلُ یَدْعُوْكُمْ فِیْۤ اُخْرٰىكُمْ فَاَثَابَكُمْ غَمًّا بِغَمٍّ لِّكَیْلَا تَحْزَنُوْا عَلٰی مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا مَاۤ اَصَابَكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَبِیْرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟۞ إِذۡ تُصۡعِدُونَ وَلَا تَلۡوُۥنَ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدٖ وَٱلرَّسُولُ يَدۡعُوكُمۡ فِيٓ أُخۡرَىٰكُمۡ فَأَثَٰبَكُمۡ غَمَّۢا بِغَمّٖ لِّكَيۡلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمۡ وَلَا مَآ أَصَٰبَكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٥٣

When you were climbing away, looking back for no one, while the Messenger was calling you from behind. So Allah repaid you with distress upon distress, so that you would not grieve over what escaped you or what struck you. Allah is fully aware of what you do.

3:154

ثُمَّ اَنْزَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ الْغَمِّ اَمَنَةً نُّعَاسًا یَّغْشٰی طَآىِٕفَةً مِّنْكُمْ ۙ وَطَآىِٕفَةٌ قَدْ اَهَمَّتْهُمْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ یَظُنُّوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ غَیْرَ الْحَقِّ ظَنَّ الْجَاهِلِیَّةِ ؕ یَقُوْلُوْنَ هَلْ لَّنَا مِنَ الْاَمْرِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ ؕ قُلْ اِنَّ الْاَمْرَ كُلَّهٗ لِلّٰهِ ؕ یُخْفُوْنَ فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ مَّا لَا یُبْدُوْنَ لَكَ ؕ یَقُوْلُوْنَ لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ الْاَمْرِ شَیْءٌ مَّا قُتِلْنَا هٰهُنَا ؕ قُلْ لَّوْ كُنْتُمْ فِیْ بُیُوْتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِیْنَ كُتِبَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْقَتْلُ اِلٰی مَضَاجِعِهِمْ ۚ وَلِیَبْتَلِیَ اللّٰهُ مَا فِیْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ وَلِیُمَحِّصَ مَا فِیْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ ۟ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ٱلۡغَمِّ أَمَنَةٗ نُّعَاسٗا يَغۡشَىٰ طَآئِفَةٗ مِّنكُمۡۖ وَطَآئِفَةٞ قَدۡ أَهَمَّتۡهُمۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ يَظُنُّونَ بِٱللَّهِ غَيۡرَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ظَنَّ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِيَّةِۖ يَقُولُونَ هَل لَّنَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِن شَيۡءٖۗ قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ كُلَّهُۥ لِلَّهِۗ يُخۡفُونَ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِم مَّا لَا يُبۡدُونَ لَكَۖ يَقُولُونَ لَوۡ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ شَيۡءٞ مَّا قُتِلۡنَا هَٰهُنَاۗ قُل لَّوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِي بُيُوتِكُمۡ لَبَرَزَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَتۡلُ إِلَىٰ مَضَاجِعِهِمۡۖ وَلِيَبۡتَلِيَ ٱللَّهُ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمۡ وَلِيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ١٥٤

Then after the distress He sent down upon you a sense of security, a drowsiness covering a group of you, while another group was anxious only about themselves, thinking wrongly about Allah, thoughts of ignorance. They said, “Do we have any say in this matter?” Say, “The matter belongs entirely to Allah.” They hide within themselves what they do not reveal to you. They say, “If we had any say in this, we would not have been killed here.” Say, “Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was written would have gone out to the places where they were to fall.” This was so Allah might test what was within your hearts and purify what was within them. Allah knows well what is within hearts.

3:155

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ تَوَلَّوْا مِنْكُمْ یَوْمَ الْتَقَی الْجَمْعٰنِ ۙ اِنَّمَا اسْتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَسَبُوْا ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَفَا اللّٰهُ عَنْهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ حَلِیْمٌ ۟۠إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوۡاْ مِنكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ إِنَّمَا ٱسۡتَزَلَّهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ بِبَعۡضِ مَا كَسَبُواْۖ وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٞ ١٥٥

Those of you who turned away on the day the two armies met were made to slip by Satan because of some of what they had earned. Yet Allah has pardoned them. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Forbearing.

3:156

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَقَالُوْا لِاِخْوَانِهِمْ اِذَا ضَرَبُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ اَوْ كَانُوْا غُزًّی لَّوْ كَانُوْا عِنْدَنَا مَا مَاتُوْا وَمَا قُتِلُوْا ۚ لِیَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ ذٰلِكَ حَسْرَةً فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ یُحْیٖ وَیُمِیْتُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ ۟يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَقَالُواْ لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ إِذَا ضَرَبُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَوۡ كَانُواْ غُزّٗى لَّوۡ كَانُواْ عِندَنَا مَا مَاتُواْ وَمَا قُتِلُواْ لِيَجۡعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ حَسۡرَةٗ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٞ ١٥٦

Believers, do not be like those who rejected faith and said of their brothers and sisters when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, “If they had stayed with us, they would not have died or been killed.” Allah makes such thinking a source of regret in their hearts. Allah gives life and causes death, and Allah sees all that you do.

3:157

وَلَىِٕنْ قُتِلْتُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اَوْ مُتُّمْ لَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَحْمَةٌ خَیْرٌ مِّمَّا یَجْمَعُوْنَ ۟وَلَئِن قُتِلۡتُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ مُتُّمۡ لَمَغۡفِرَةٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَحۡمَةٌ خَيۡرٞ مِّمَّا يَجۡمَعُونَ ١٥٧

If you are killed in Allah’s cause or die, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are better than all that people accumulate.

3:158

وَلَىِٕنْ مُّتُّمْ اَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ لَاۡاِلَی اللّٰهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ ۟وَلَئِن مُّتُّمۡ أَوۡ قُتِلۡتُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ ١٥٨

And whether you die or are killed, you will surely be gathered to Allah.

3:159

فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لِنْتَ لَهُمْ ۚ وَلَوْ كُنْتَ فَظًّا غَلِیْظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانْفَضُّوْا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ ۪ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِی الْاَمْرِ ۚ فَاِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِیْنَ ۟فَبِمَا رَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمۡۖ وَلَوۡ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ ٱلۡقَلۡبِ لَٱنفَضُّواْ مِنۡ حَوۡلِكَۖ فَٱعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ وَشَاوِرۡهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِۖ فَإِذَا عَزَمۡتَ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلِينَ ١٥٩

It was by mercy from Allah that you were gentle with them. Had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from around you. So pardon them, ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in matters. Then when you have decided, put your trust in Allah. Allah loves those who put their trust in Him.

3:160

اِنْ یَّنْصُرْكُمُ اللّٰهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ یَّخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِیْ یَنْصُرُكُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِهٖ ؕ وَعَلَی اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟إِن يَنصُرۡكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمۡۖ وَإِن يَخۡذُلۡكُمۡ فَمَن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يَنصُرُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۗ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ١٦٠

If Allah helps you, no one can overcome you. But if He leaves you without help, who can help you after Him? So in Allah let the believers place their trust.

3:161

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِیٍّ اَنْ یَّغُلَّ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّغْلُلْ یَاْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ۚ ثُمَّ تُوَفّٰی كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ ۟وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَن يَغُلَّۚ وَمَن يَغۡلُلۡ يَأۡتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ١٦١

It is not for a prophet to act dishonestly regarding spoils. Whoever acts dishonestly will bring what they took dishonestly on the Day of Resurrection. Then every soul will be repaid in full for what it earned, and no one will be wronged.

3:162

اَفَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَ اللّٰهِ كَمَنْ بَآءَ بِسَخَطٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَمَاْوٰىهُ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟أَفَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضۡوَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَنۢ بَآءَ بِسَخَطٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ١٦٢

Can one who follows Allah’s pleasure be like one who has earned Allah’s anger and whose home is Hell? What a terrible destination.

3:163

هُمْ دَرَجٰتٌ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بَصِیْرٌ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟هُمۡ دَرَجَٰتٌ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٦٣

They have different ranks with Allah, and Allah sees all that they do.

3:164

لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ اِذْ بَعَثَ فِیْهِمْ رَسُوْلًا مِّنْ اَنْفُسِهِمْ یَتْلُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ وَیُزَكِّیْهِمْ وَیُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ ۚ وَاِنْ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟لَقَدۡ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ إِذۡ بَعَثَ فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ ١٦٤

Allah has certainly shown great favor to the believers by raising among them a messenger from themselves, reciting His verses to them, purifying them, and teaching them the Scripture and wisdom, though before that they were clearly astray.

3:165

اَوَلَمَّاۤ اَصَابَتْكُمْ مُّصِیْبَةٌ قَدْ اَصَبْتُمْ مِّثْلَیْهَا ۙ قُلْتُمْ اَنّٰی هٰذَا ؕ قُلْ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اَنْفُسِكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟أَوَلَمَّآ أَصَٰبَتۡكُم مُّصِيبَةٞ قَدۡ أَصَبۡتُم مِّثۡلَيۡهَا قُلۡتُمۡ أَنَّىٰ هَٰذَاۖ قُلۡ هُوَ مِنۡ عِندِ أَنفُسِكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ١٦٥

Why, when a disaster struck you after you had struck your enemy with twice as much, did you say, “How did this happen?” Say, “It came from yourselves.” Allah has power over everything.

3:166

وَمَاۤ اَصَابَكُمْ یَوْمَ الْتَقَی الْجَمْعٰنِ فَبِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِیَعْلَمَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟ۙوَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ فَبِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٦٦

What struck you on the day the two armies met happened by Allah’s permission, so that He might make the believers known,

3:167

وَلِیَعْلَمَ الَّذِیْنَ نَافَقُوْا ۖۚ وَقِیْلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا قَاتِلُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ اَوِ ادْفَعُوْا ؕ قَالُوْا لَوْ نَعْلَمُ قِتَالًا لَّاتَّبَعْنٰكُمْ ؕ هُمْ لِلْكُفْرِ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ اَقْرَبُ مِنْهُمْ لِلْاِیْمَانِ ۚ یَقُوْلُوْنَ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْ مَّا لَیْسَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا یَكْتُمُوْنَ ۟ۚوَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَافَقُواْۚ وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ قَٰتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوِ ٱدۡفَعُواْۖ قَالُواْ لَوۡ نَعۡلَمُ قِتَالٗا لَّٱتَّبَعۡنَٰكُمۡۗ هُمۡ لِلۡكُفۡرِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَقۡرَبُ مِنۡهُمۡ لِلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ يَقُولُونَ بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِم مَّا لَيۡسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَكۡتُمُونَ ١٦٧

and make the hypocrites known. They were told, “Come, fight in Allah’s cause or at least defend.” They said, “If we knew there would be fighting, we would certainly follow you.” That day they were closer to rejection than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. Allah knows best what they conceal.

3:168

اَلَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْا لِاِخْوَانِهِمْ وَقَعَدُوْا لَوْ اَطَاعُوْنَا مَا قُتِلُوْا ؕ قُلْ فَادْرَءُوْا عَنْ اَنْفُسِكُمُ الْمَوْتَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ ۟ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ وَقَعَدُواْ لَوۡ أَطَاعُونَا مَا قُتِلُواْۗ قُلۡ فَٱدۡرَءُواْ عَنۡ أَنفُسِكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ١٦٨

Those who stayed behind said about their brothers, “If they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed.” Say, “Then keep death away from yourselves, if you are truthful.”
