3:166

ﱁAnd whatﱂstruck youﱃ(on the) dayﱄ(when) metﱅthe two hostsﱆ(was) by (the) permissionﱇ(of) Allahﱈand that He (might) make evidentﱉthe believersﱊ(166)

So what you suffered on the day the two armies met was by Allah’s Will, so that He might distinguish the ˹true˺ believers

3:167

ﱋAnd that He (might) make evidentﱌthose whoﱍﱎ(are) hypocritesﱏAnd it was saidﱐto themﱑComeﱒfightﱓinﱔ(the) wayﱕ(of) AllahﱖorﱗﱘdefendﱙThey saidﱚIfﱛwe knewﱜfightingﱝﱞcertainly we (would have) followed youﱟThey ﱠto disbeliefﱡthat dayﱢ(were) nearerﱣthan [them]ﱤﱥto the faithﱦsayingﱧwith their mouthsﱨwhatﱩwas notﱪinﱫﱬtheir heartsﱭAnd Allahﱮ(is) Most Knowingﱯof whatﱰthey concealﱱ(167)

and expose the hypocrites. When it was said to them, “Come fight in the cause of Allah or ˹at least˺ defend yourselves,” they replied, “If we had known there was fighting, we would have definitely gone with you.” They were closer to disbelief than to belief on that day—for saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. Allah is All-Knowing of what they hide.

3:168

ﱲThose whoﱳsaidﱴabout their brothersﱵwhile they satﱶIfﱷthey (had) obeyed usﱸnotﱹﱺthey would have been killedﱻSayﱼThen avertﱽfromﱾyourselvesﱿ[the] deathﲀifﲁyou areﲂtruthfulﲃ(168)

Those who sat at home, saying about their brothers, “Had they listened to us, they would not have been killed.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Try not to die1 if what you say is true!”

3:169

ﲄAnd (do) notﲅthinkﲆ(of) those whoﲇare killedﲈinﲉ(the) wayﲊ(of) Allahﲋﲌ(as) deadﲍNayﲎThey are aliveﲏnearﲐtheir Lordﲑthey are given provisionﲒ(169)

Never think of those martyred in the cause of Allah as dead. In fact, they are alive with their Lord, well provided for—

3:170

ﲓRejoicingﲔin whatﲕbestowed themﲖAllahﲗofﲘHis Bountyﲙand they receive good tidingsﲚabout those whoﲛ(have) notﲜyet joinedﲝ[with] themﲞ[from]ﲟ(but are) left behind ﲠthat (there will be) noﲡfearﲢon themﲣand notﲤtheyﲥwill grieveﲦ(170)

rejoicing in Allah’s bounties and being delighted for those yet to join them. There will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.

3:171

ﲧ ﲨThey receive good tidingsﲩof FavorﲪfromﲫAllahﲬand Bountyﲭand thatﲮAllahﲯ(does) notﲰlet go wasteﲱ(the) rewardﲲ(of) the believersﲳ(171)

They are joyful for receiving Allah’s grace and bounty, and that Allah does not deny the reward of the believers.

3:172

ﲴThose whoﲵrespondedﲶto Allahﲷand the Messengerﲸfromﲹafterﲺwhatﲻbefell them ﲼﲽthe injury ﲾfor those whoﲿdid goodﳀamong themﳁand feared Allahﳂ(is) a reward ﳃgreatﳄ(172)

˹As for˺ those who responded to the call of Allah and His Messenger after their injury,1 those of them who did good and were mindful ˹of Allah˺ will have a great reward.

3:173

ﳅThose whoﳆsaidﳇto themﳈ[the people]ﳉIndeedﳊthe peopleﳋ(have) certainlyﳌgatheredﳍagainst youﳎso fear themﳏBut it increased themﳐ(in) faithﳑand they saidﳒSufficient for usﳓ(is) Allahﳔand (He is the) bestﳕ[the] Disposer of affairsﳖ(173)

Those who were warned, “Your enemies have mobilized their forces against you, so fear them,” the warning only made them grow stronger in faith and they replied, “Allah ˹alone˺ is sufficient ˹as an aid˺ for us and ˹He˺ is the best Protector.”
