ثُمَّ Then thumma He sent down anzala upon you ʿalaykum from min after baʿdi the distress l-ghami security amanatan slumber nuʿāsan overcoming yaghshā a group ṭāifatan of you minkum while a group waṭāifatun certainly qad worried [them] ahammathum (about) themselves anfusuhum thinking yaẓunnūna about Allah bil-lahi other than ghayra the truth l-ḥaqi (the) thought ẓanna (of) [the] ignorance l-jāhiliyati saying yaqūlūna Is (there) hal for us lanā from mina the matter l-amri any min thing shayin Say qul Indeed inna the matter l-amra all (of) it kullahu (is) for Allah lillahi They hide yukh'fūna in fī themselves anfusihim what mā not lā they reveal yub'dūna to you laka They say yaqūlūna If law was kāna for us lanā from mina the matter l-amri anything shayon not mā we would have been killed qutil'nā here hāhunā Say qul If law you were kuntum in fī your houses buyūtikum surely (would have) come out labaraza those who alladhīna was decreed kutiba upon them ʿalayhimu [the] death l-qatlu towards ilā their places of death maḍājiʿihim And that might test waliyabtaliya Allah l-lahu what mā (is) in fī your breasts ṣudūrikum and that He may purge waliyumaḥḥiṣa what mā (is) in fī your hearts qulūbikum And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Aware ʿalīmun of what bidhāti (is in) the breasts l-ṣudūri
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 Allāh 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 Allāh." They conceal within themselves what they will not reveal to you. They say, "If there was anything we could have done in the matter, we [i.e., 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 Allāh might test what is in your breasts and purify what is in your hearts. And Allāh is Knowing of that within the breasts.
