[Remember] when you were on the near side of the valley, and they were on the farther side, and the caravan was lower [in position] than you. If you had made an appointment [to meet], you would have missed the appointment. But [it was] so that Allah might accomplish a matter already destined - that those who perished [through disbelief] would perish upon evidence and those who lived [in faith] would live upon evidence; and indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
Tafseer
{ إذ } بدل من يوم { أنتم } كائنون { بالعُدوة الدنيا } القربى من المدينة وهى بضم العين وكسرها جانب الوادي { وهم بالعدوة القصوى } البعدى منها { والركب } العير كائنون بمكان { أسفل منكم } مما يلي البحر { ولو تواعدتم } أنتم والنفير للقتال { لاختلفتم في الميعاد ولكن } جمعكم بغير ميعاد { ليقضى الله أمرا كان مفعولا } في علمه وهو نصر الإسلام وَمَحْقُ الكفر فعل ذلك { ليهلك } يكفر { من هلك عن بينةٍ } أي بعد حجة ظاهرة قامت عليه وهي نصر المؤمنين مع قلتهم على الجيش الكثير { ويحيى } يؤمن { من حيَّ عن بينة وإن الله لسميع عليم } .
