— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

It was not you ˹believers˺ who killed them, but it was Allah Who did so. Nor was it you ˹O Prophet˺ who threw ˹a handful of sand at the disbelievers˺,1 but it was Allah Who did so, rendering the believers a great favour. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them.1 And you threw not, [O Muḥammad], when you threw, but it was Allah who threw2 that He might test the believers with a good test.3 Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
