أَوَلَمَّآأَصَٰبَتْكُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَدْ أَصَبْتُم مِّثْلَيْهَا قُلْتُمْ أَنَّىٰ هَٰذَا قُلْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ أَنفُسِكُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

165. ‘Awa- lammaaa ‘asaabat-kum-musiibatun-
qad ‘asabtum- mislayhaa,
qultum ‘annaa haazaa.
Qul huwa min ‘indi ‘anfusikum. ‘InnAllaaha
‘alaa kulli shay-‘in- Qadiir. |

165. And when a calamity befell you, even after you had
inflicted twice as much, you said, “How is this?” Say, “It is from your own
selves.” God is Able to do all things. |
The incident of the Battle of ‘Uhud was being described since long; its necessary detail was explained. Then such error was stated, which was committed by the Muslims. Later on, they were forgiven. God forgave also those archers and they were recommended by Him too to be forgiven by the Messenger (ﷺ). In this connection, manners and virtues of the Prophet of God, auspiciousness of his (ﷺ) existence and peculiarities were discussed. The Muslims were also told that coming of this Messenger into existence among them was greatest kindness of God upon them. They should know his (ﷺ) value and be thankful to God for this favor. Remaining story of the Battle of ‘Uhud is now being described again.
It has been declared to the Muslims, “Do you wonder on the disaster and loss, which you suffered from the Battle of ‘Uhud and ask that whence this disaster has come? You consider that you were Muslims; you came out to fight against the enemies of the truth in the Way of God. He had promised also for help, then why and from whither this calamity has come upon you? You would have thought before speaking that; as much you suffered, your enemies suffered earlier double of it. Your seventy people were martyred in the Battle of ‘Uhud and became heirs of the Heaven. On the contrary, during the battle of Badr their seventy persons were slain and thrown into the Hell. In addition their seventy people became your prisoners, upon whom you had full control. If you wanted, you could kill them. Then besides the Battle of Badr, their more than twenty men were slain also in the beginning of the Battle of ‘Uhud. If you have lost here then imagine there, they have confronted disastrous defeat in the Battle of Badr , and in the Battle of ‘Uhud too, when you fought courageously, they lost all their wits, and ran away being senseless.
If you reflect then you yourselves became the reason of this trouble.
1. Because of excitement, you persisted to fight after coming outward from the Township of Madinah.
2.
The archers disobeyed the Holy Messenger (ﷺ) and left the Pass unsafe.
Why are you being surprised now? You became reason yourselves of this disaster
and defeat; otherwise, God is
Able to do all things. If He wished, He would not let you put in this trial. No
doubt, He has the perfect Power of Influence.
