(155) إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْاْ مِنكُمْ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ إِنَّمَا اسْتَزَلَّهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَسَبُواْ
وَلَقَدْ عَفَا اللّهُ عَنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٌ
155. " Verily those of you who turned back on the day (of 'Uhud) when both troops met, only Satan made them slip because of something they earned; and certainly Allah has pardoned them; Surely Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing."
Commentary:
This verse is about the escape of the Muslims from the Battle of 'Uhud. As most commentary books denote, in the Battle of 'Uhud all strivers flew except thirteen ones.
Five people of them were from Emigrants (muhajirin) and eight people from Helpers /'ansar/. The opinions are devided as for the names of these thirteen people that who they were, except Ali-ibn-Abitalib (a.s.).
However, in the Battle of 'Uhud, the Muslims were divided into four groups: 1. Martyrs; 2. The Patients; 3. The Fugitives, who were forgiven; 4.The hypocrites.
Explanations:
1. Sin clears the field for the temptations of Satan.
"... only Satan made them slip because of something they earned; ..."
2. One of the reasons of escaping from fight is sin. Sin tears the curtain of piety and weakens the spirit of man and, then, paves the way for the influence of Satan.
3. Deeds effect on spiritualities. As a result of sins, some persons become coward and ran away.
4. Strivers should set themselves in the course of repentance, seeking forgiveness and self-improvement.
