This paragraph is part of verse (152) of Surat Aal-Imran, and it relates to the Battle of Uhud, where Allah Almighty says: "And Allah had certainly fulfilled His promise to you when you were killing them [your enemy] by His permission until, when you lost courage and fell into dispute concerning the order [of Muhammad] and disobeyed after He had shown you that which you love. Among you are some who desire this world, and among you are some who desire the Hereafter. Then He turned you away from them that He might test you. And He has already forgiven you, and Allah is the possessor of bounty for the believers."
