(140) إِن يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِّثْلُهُ وَتِلْكَ الأيَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللّهُ
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمْ شُهَدَاء وَاللّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ
140. " If a wound touches you, because a wound similar to it has also touched the (disbelieving) people, and such days We deal out in turn among mankind; and that Allah may recognize (by trial) those who have believed and take witnesses from among you; and Allah does not love the unjust."
Commentary:
This verse, in the form of consoling the Muslims, states a fact. The fact is that if they had born some losses and damages for the sake of right and along the path of a divine goal and a clear bright future, their enemies had also had some killed and wounded figures. If they did not win the victory in the Battle of 'Uhud that day, their enemies had also been defeated in the Battle of Badr before that day. Therefore, it is necessary for them to be patient in the divine trials.
Explanations:
1. You Muslims should not be less than the disbelievers from the point of patience and perseverance.
" If a wound touches you, because a wound similar to it has also touched the (disbelieving) people, ..."
2. The sweet and bitter accidents are not durable.
"... and such days We deal out in turn among mankind;..."
3. The faithful people are recognized from those who only claim Faith in fightings and in the ascents and descents of life.
"... and that Allah may recognize (by trial) those who have believed ..."
4. In the bitter experience of 'Uhud, the Lord took witnesses from your own that how the disobedience from the commander ended to a bitter failure.
"... and take witnesses from among you;... "
5. The temporary victory of the disbelievers is not the sign of the love of Allah to them.
"... and Allah does not love the unjust."
