  1. وَإِذۡ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِحۡدَى ٱلطَّآئِفَتَيۡنِ أَنَّهَا لَكُمۡ وَتَوَدُّونَ أَنَّ غَيۡرَ ذَاتِ ٱلشَّوۡكَةِ تَكُونُ لَكُمۡ وَيُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُحِقَّ ٱلۡحَقَّ بِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ وَيَقۡطَعَ دَابِرَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ۝٧

    ৭. আর স্মরণ কর, যখন আল্লাহ তোমাদেরকে প্রতিশ্রুতি দেন যে, দু দলের একদল তোমাদের আয়ত্তাধীন হবে; অথচ তোমরা চাচ্ছিলে যে, নিরস্ত্র দলটি তোমাদের আয়ত্তাধীন হোক। আর আল্লাহ্‌ চাচ্ছিলেন যে, তিনি সত্যকে তাঁর বাণী দ্বারা প্রতিষ্ঠিত করেন এবং কাফেরদেরকে নির্মূল করেন।

    7. [Remember, O believers], when Allah promised you one of the two groups - that it would be yours - and you wished that the unarmed one would be yours. But Allah intended to establish the truth by His words and to eliminate the disbelievers

Ma'arif al-Qur'an

Mufti Muhammad Shafi

Then, the same event has been alluded to in the second verse (6): يُجَادِلُونَكَ فِي الْحَقِّ بَعْدَ مَا تَبَيَّنَ كَأَنَّمَا يُسَاقُونَ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُ‌ونَ (they were disputing with you about the truth after it became clear, as if they were being driven to a death being seen by them). Though the noble Companions had not disobeyed any command given to them - in fact, what they had done was a certain expression of their weakness and lack of courage as part of their response when consulted.

But, even such expression of personal opinion coming from the Companions of the Messengers of Allah when juxtaposed with the high station they were blessed with was unwelcome in the sight of Allah Ta` ala. Therefore, it was set forth in words which spell out displeasure.
