எனினும், அவர்கள் (போரிலிருந்து) புறங்காட்டி ஓடுவதில்லை என்று அல்லாஹ்விடத்தில் இதற்கு முன்னர் நிச்சயமாக வாக்குறுதி செய்திருந்தார்கள்; ஆகவே, அல்லாஹ்விடம் செய்த வாக்குறுதி பற்றி (அவர்களிடம்) கேட்கப்படும்.

Tafsir of 33:15

يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ وَمَا هِىَ بِعَوْرَةٍ إِن يُرِيدُونَ إِلاَّ فِرَاراً ("Truly, our homes lie open." And they lay not open. They but wished to flee.) If the enemy had entered upon them from every side of Al-Madinah and from every direction, then demanded that they become disbelievers, they would have promptly done so. 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.
