Sura 3 Ali 'Imran (Family of Imran), ayah 154

  1. ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْغَمِّ أَمَنَةً نُعَاسًا يَغْشَىٰ طَائِفَةً مِنْكُمْ ۖ وَطَائِفَةٌ قَدْ أَهَمَّتْهُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ يَظُنُّونَ بِاللَّهِ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ ظَنَّ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ۖ يَقُولُونَ هَلْ لَنَا مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ كُلَّهُ لِلَّهِ ۗ يُخْفُونَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ مَا لَا يُبْدُونَ لَكَ ۖ يَقُولُونَ لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ مَا قُتِلْنَا هَاهُنَا ۗ قُلْ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِينَ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقَتْلُ إِلَىٰ مَضَاجِعِهِمْ ۖ وَلِيَبْتَلِيَ اللَّهُ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَلِيُمَحِّصَ مَا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

    يَغْشَىٰ

    أَنفُسُهُمْ
    (about) themselves
    يَظُنُّونَ
    thinking
    بِٱللَّهِ
    about Allah

    ٱلْحَقِّ
    the truth -
    ظَنَّ
    (the) thought
    ٱلْجَٰهِلِيَّةِ
    (of) [the] ignorance.
    يَقُولُونَ
    saying,
    هَل
    "Is (there)
    لَّنَا
    for us
    مِنَ
    from
    ٱلْأَمْرِ
    the matter
    مِن
    any
    شَىْءٍ

    قُلْ
    Say,
    إِنَّ
    "Indeed
    ٱلْأَمْرَ

    قُتِلْنَا
    we would have been killed
    هَٰهُنَا
    here."
    قُل
    Say,
    لَّوْ
    "If
    كُنتُمْ
    you were
    فِى
    in
    بُيُوتِكُمْ
    your houses,
    لَبَرَزَ
    surely (would have) come out
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who -
    كُتِبَ
    was decreed
    عَلَيْهِمُ
    upon them
    ٱلْقَتْلُ
    [the] death
    إِلَىٰ
    towards
    مَضَاجِعِهِمْ
    their places of death.
    وَلِيَبْتَلِىَ
    And that might test
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah
    مَا
    what
    فِى
    (is) in
    صُدُورِكُمْ
    your breasts
    وَلِيُمَحِّصَ
    and that He may purge
    مَا
    what
    فِى
    (is) in
    قُلُوبِكُمْ
    your hearts.
    وَٱللَّهُ
    And Allah
    عَلِيمٌۢ
    (is) All-Aware
    بِذَاتِ
    of what
    ٱلصُّدُورِ
    (is in) the breasts.

    Then after distress, He sent down upon you security (in the form of) drowsiness, overcoming a faction of you, while another faction worried about themselves, thinking of Allah other than the truth - the thought of ignorance, saying, "Is there anything for us (to have done) in this matter?" Say, "Indeed, the matter belongs completely to Allah." They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could have done in the matter, some of us would not have been killed right here." Say, "Even if you had been inside your houses, those decreed to be killed would have come out to their death beds." (It was) so that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts.
