Verš 8:42
A hle, byli jste na bližším svahu a oni byli na vzdálenějším svahu a jezdci byli níže pod vámi; a kdybyste si byli umluvili schůzku, věru byste se byli hádali o místo a čas této schůzky,avšak vše se událo tak, aby Bůh rozhodl věc, jež měla být splněna, a aby zahynul ten, kdo zahynul, v souladu s jasným důkazem, a aby zůstal naživu ten, kdo zůstal naživu, v souladu s jasným důkazem. A Bůh je věru slyšící, vševědoucí!
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
When (idh substitutes for yawma, ‘the day’) you were on the nearer bank, the one nearer to Medina (read ‘udwa or ‘idwa, meaning ‘the side of a valley’), and they were on the yonder bank, the one further from it, and the cavalcade, the caravan, was, in a place, below you, the coastal side; and had you, and the [enemy] band, agreed to meet, for battle, you would have surely failed to keep meeting; but, He brought you together at a different time, that God might conclude a matter that was to be done, through His knowledge — namely, the victory of Islam and the obliteration of unbelief — He did this so, that he who perished might perish, might be a disbeliever [even], after a clear proof, that is, after a manifest proof has been established against him, namely, the triumph of the believers, despite their small number, over the larger [enemy] army; and that he who survived might live, might believe, after a clear proof; surely God is Hearing, Knowing.
