وَلَقَدۡ صَدَقَكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَعۡدَهٗۤ اِذۡ تَحُسُّوۡنَهُمۡ بِاِذۡنِهٖ​ۚ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا فَشِلۡتُمۡ وَتَـنَازَعۡتُمۡ فِى الۡاَمۡرِ وَعَصَيۡتُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَاۤ اَرٰٮكُمۡ مَّا تُحِبُّوۡنَ​ؕ مِنۡكُمۡ مَّنۡ يُّرِيۡدُ الدُّنۡيَا وَمِنۡكُمۡ مَّنۡ يُّرِيۡدُ الۡاٰخِرَةَ  ​​​ۚ ثُمَّ صَرَفَكُمۡ عَنۡهُمۡ لِيَبۡتَلِيَكُمۡ​ۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَفَا عَنۡكُمۡ​ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ ذُوۡ فَضۡلٍ عَلَى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ۝

And Allāh had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them i.e., the enemy by His permission until the time when you lost courage and fell to disputing about the order given by the Prophet (ﷺ) and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you back from them defeated that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you, and Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the believers.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Cost of Disobedience: Temporary success lost due to greed at Uhud.

The Insight

God fulfilled His promise of victory at Uhud, but the believers failed the critical test, arguing and disobeying the Prophet's command due to the lure of war spoils. Uphold discipline and intent. Greed, disagreement, and failure to follow command can snatch victory away, even when God's promise is secured. Sincere obedience is the prerequisite for preserving success.
