Faith) to your own loss.
3:150
Nay, Allah is your protector, and He is the best of helpers.
3:151
Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He
had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!
3:152
Allah did indeed fulfil His promise to you when ye with His permission Were about to annihilate your enemy,-until ye
flinched and fell to disputing about the order, and disobeyed it after He brought you in sight (of the booty) which ye
covet. Among you are some that hanker after this world and some that desire the Hereafter. Then did He divert you
from your foes in order to test you but He forgave you: For Allah is full of grace to those who believe.
3:153
Behold! ye were climbing up the high ground, without even casting a side glance at any one, and the Messenger in your
rear was calling you back. There did Allah 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 Allah is well aware of all that ye
do.
3:154
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 Allah-suspicions due to ignorance.
They said: "What affair is this of ours." Say thou: "Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah'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 Allah might test what is in your
breasts and purge what is in your hearts. For Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.
3:155
Those of you who turned back on the day the two hosts Met,-it was Satan who caused them to fail, because of some
(evil) they had done. But Allah Has blotted out (their fault): For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
