يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَقَالُوا۟ لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ إِذَا ضَرَبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَوْ كَانُوا۟ غُزًّۭى لَّوْ كَانُوا۟ عِندَنَا مَا مَاتُوا۟ وَمَا قُتِلُوا۟ لِيَجْعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ حَسْرَةًۭ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌۭ ١٥٦
O ye who believe! Be not as those who disbelieved and said of their brethren who went abroad in the land or were fighting in the field: If they had been (here) with us they would not have died or been killed: that Allah may make it anguish in their hearts. Allah giveth life and causeth death; and Allah is Seer of what ye do.
O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allah makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allah who gives life and causes death, and Allah is Seeing of what you do.
Believers, do not behave like those who disbelieved and say to their brothers (who meet some mishap) in the course of their journey for fighting: 'Had they remained with us, they would not have died nor been slain.' Allah makes such thoughts the cause of deep regrets in their hearts. For in truth it is Allah alone who grants life and deals death. Allah sees all that you do.
يَنْهَى تَعَالَى عِبَادَهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَنْ مُشَابَهَةِ الْكُفَّارِ فِي اعْتِقَادِهِمُ الْفَاسِدِ، الدَّالِّ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلُهُمْ عَنْ إِخْوَانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا فِي الْأَسْفَارِ وَفِي [[في جـ، ر، و: "أو في".]] الْحُرُوبِ: لَوْ كَانُوا تَرَكُوا ذَلِكَ لَمَا أَصَابَهُمْ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ. فَقَالَ: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقَالُوا لإخْوَانِهِمْ﴾ أَيْ: عَنْ إِخْوَانِهِمْ ﴿إِذَا ضَرَبُوا فِي الأرْضِ﴾ أَيْ: سَافَرُوا لِلتِّجَارَةِ وَنَحْوِهَا [[في جـ: "وغيرها".]] ﴿أَوْ كَانُوا غُزًّى﴾ أَيْ: فِي الْغَزْوِ ﴿لَوْ كَانُوا عِنْدَنَا﴾ أَيْ: فِي الْبَلَدِ ﴿مَا مَاتُوا وَمَا قُتِلُوا﴾ [[في ر: "ولا".]] أَيْ: مَا مَاتُوا فِي السَّفَرِ وَلَا قُتِلُوا فِي الْغَزْوِ.
وَقَوْلُهُ: ﴿لِيَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ حَسْرَةً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ﴾ أَيْ: خَلَقَ هَذَا الِاعْتِقَادَ فِي نُفُوسِهِمْ لِيَزْدَادُوا حَسْرَةً عَلَى مَوْتِهِمْ وقتْلهم [[في جـ، ر، أ، و: "موتاهم وقتلاهم".]] ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَالَى رَدًّا عَلَيْهِمْ: ﴿وَاللَّهُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ﴾ أَيْ: بِيَدِهِ الْخَلْقُ وَإِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُ الْأَمْرُ، وَلَا يَحْيَا أَحَدٌ وَلَا يَمُوتُ إِلَّا بِمَشِيئَتِهِ وَقَدَرِهِ، وَلَا يُزَاد فِي عُمُر أَحَدٍ وَلَا يُنْقَص مِنْهُ إِلَّا بِقَضَائِهِ وَقَدَرِهِ ﴿وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ﴾ أَيْ: وَعِلْمُهُ وَبَصَرُهُ نَافِذٌ فِي جَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ، لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أُمُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ.
وَقَوْلُهُ: ﴿وَلَئِنْ قُتِلْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ مُتُّمْ لَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ﴾ تَضَمَّنَ هَذَا أَنَّ الْقَتْلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَالْمَوْتَ أَيْضًا، وَسِيلَةٌ إِلَى نَيْلِ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وعَفوه وَرِضْوَانِهِ، وَذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْبَقَاءِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَجَمْعِ حُطَامِهَا الْفَانِي.
ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَ بِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ فَمَصِيرُهُ وَمَرْجِعُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ، عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَيَجْزِيهِ بِعَمَلِهِ، إِنْ خَيْرًا فَخَيْرٌ، وَإِنْ شَرًّا فَشَرٌّ فَقَالَ: ﴿وَلَئِنْ مُتُّمْ أَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ لإلَى اللَّهِ تُحْشَرُونَ﴾
