وَلَقَدْ
صَدَقَكُمُ
اللَّهُ
وَعْدَهُ
إِذْ
تَحُسُّونَهُم
بِإِذْنِهِ
حَتَّى
إِذَا
فَشِلْتُمْ
وَتَنَازَعْتُمْ
فِي
الْأَمْرِ
وَعَصَيْتُم
مِّن
بَعْدِ
مَا
أَرَاكُم
مَّا
تُحِبُّونَ
مِنكُم
مَّن
يُرِيدُ
الدُّنْيَا
وَمِنكُم
مَّن
يُرِيدُ
الْآخِرَةَ
ثُمَّ
صَرَفَكُمْ
عَنْهُمْ
لِيَبْتَلِيَكُمْ
وَلَقَدْ
عَفَا
عَنكُمْ
وَاللَّهُ
ذُو
فَضْلٍ
عَلَى
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

God certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were fighting the unbelievers, by His permission. Even after We showed you what you wanted, you began to lose courage, started quarreling with each other, and disobeyed God's orders. Some of you want worldly gains and others of you want rewards in the hereafter. Then He let you face defeat in order to test you. However, He forgave you. God is Gracious to the believers.
