Al-Anfal 8:42 اذ انتم بالعدوة الدنيا وهم بالعدوة القصوى والركب اسفل منكم ولو تواعدتم لاختلفتم في الميعاد ولاكن ليقضي الله امرا كان مفعولا ليهلك من هلك عن بينة ويحيى من حي عن بينة وان الله لسميع عليم ٤٢

٤٢
˹Remember˺ when you were on the near side of the valley, your enemy on the far side, and the caravan was below you. Even if the two armies had made an appointment ˹to meet˺, both would have certainly missed it.1 Still it transpired so Allah may establish what He had destined—that those who were to perish and those who were to survive might do so after the truth had been made clear to both. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
