33:7 And [remember] when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you [O Prophet], and from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, son of Mary; We took from them a solemn covenant

33:8 so that He may question the truthful[1] about their truthfulness, and He has prepared for the disbelievers a painful punishment.

33:9 O you who believe, remember Allah’s favor upon you when [enemy] forces came against you[1], but We sent against them a violent wind and forces that you could not see[2]. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.

33:10 [Remember] when they came upon you from above you and from below you[1], and your eyes grew wild [in horror], and the hearts reached the throats, and you began to entertain various thoughts about Allah[2].

33:11 There the believers were tested and were severely shaken.

33:12 And [remember] when the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts said, “Allah and His Messenger did not promise us but delusion!”

33:13 And [remember] when a group of them said, “O people of Yathrib[1], you cannot withstand [the enemy attack], so go back.” Another group of them asked the Prophet’s permission to leave, saying, “Our homes are exposed,” even though they were not exposed; they only wanted to flee.

33:14 If the enemy were to enter the town upon them[1] from all sides, and they were asked to abandon faith, they would have done it and would not have shown hesitation in it except a little.

33:15 They had already made a covenant with Allah earlier that they would not turn and flee, and the covenant of Allah will surely be questioned about.
