section 17

the faithful & hypocrites in the battle of uhud

 

156. " o' you who have faith! be not like those who disbelieved and said of
their brethren when they traveled in the earth or engaged in fighting:
` had they been with us they would not have died and they
would not have been killed '; so that allah may make this a regret in their
hearts. and, allah gives life and causes to die;
and allah sees what you do."

commentary:
we ought to stand firm against discouraging propagations and
inspirations, and gossips should not be retold. we must know that death
and life are from the determinations of allah and are not concerned to
fight and journey. so, the enemy cast the evil propagation in the form of
sympathy and regret.

" o' you who have faith! be not like those who disbelieved and said of
their brethren when they traveled in the earth or engaged in fighting:
` had they been with us they would not have died and they
would not have been killed '; so that allah may make this a regret in their
hearts. and, allah gives life and causes to die; ..."

thus, allah is the clearsighted and the cognizant. so, be careful of
your conditions, thoughts, and deeds.

"... and allah sees what you do. "
