அதன் பல பாகங்களிலிருந்தும் அவர்கள் மீது படைகள் புகுத்தப்பட்டு, குழப்பம் செய்யும்படி அவர்களிடம் கேட்கப் பட்டிருக்குமானால், நிச்சயமாக அவர்கள் (அதை ஏற்று அவ்வாறே) செய்து இருப்பார்கள்; அதை (குழப்பத்தை) சிறிது நேரமே தவிர தாமதப் படுத்த மாட்டார்கள்.

තවද ඔවුනට එරෙහිව සිව්දෙසින් (සතුරු සේනාවන්) ප්‍රවේශ කරනු ලැබ පසුව කලහකම් කරනු ලෙස ඔවුන්ගෙන් ඉල්ලා සිටිනු ලැබුවේ නම්, නියත වශයෙන් ම ඔවුහු ඒ වෙත පැමිණෙන්නෝම ය. තවද ස්වල්ප දෙනෙකු හැර එහි ඔවුන් රැඳී නො සිටිනු ඇත.

They would not have adhered to their faith or remained steadfast in it if they were faced with the slightest fear. This is how it was interpreted by Qatadah, `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd and Ibn Jarir. This is a condemnation of them in the clearest terms. Then Allah reminds them of the promise they had made to Him before this fear struck them, that they would not turn their backs or flee from the battlefield. وَكَانَ عَهْدُ اللَّهِ مَسْئُولاً (and a covenant with Allah must be answered for.) means, Allah will inevitably ask them about that covenant.
