And if We had decreed upon them, "Kill yourselves" or "Leave your homes," they would not have done it, except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it would have been better for them and a firmer position [for them in faith].
Tafseer
{ ولو أنا كتبنا عليهم أن } مفسرة { اقتلوا أنفسكم أو اخرجوا من دياركم } كما كتبنا على بني إسرائيل { ما فعلوه } أي المكتوب عليهم { إلا قليل } بالرفع على البدل والنصب على الاستثناء { منهم ولو أنهم فعلوا ما يوعَظون به } من طاعة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم { لكان خيرا لهم وأشد تثبيتا } تحقيقا لإيمانهم .
If I wrote them that explained Kill yourselves or get out of your homes As we wrote on the children of Israel, they did any written them only a few lifting the allowance and the monument to the exception them if they did what they preach by of obedience to the Prophet peace be upon him it would be better for them and more confirmation To their faith.
