Surah Aali Imran (The Family of Imran), Verse 154

ثُمَّ اَنْزَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ الْغَمِّ اَمَنَةً نُّعَاسًا یَّغْشٰی طَآىِٕفَةً مِّنْكُمْ وَطَآىِٕفَةٌ قَدْ اَهَمَّتْهُمْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ یَظُنُّوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ غَیْرَ الْحَقِّ ظَنَّ الْجَاهِلِیَّةِ یَقُوْلُوْنَ هَلْ لَّنَا مِنَ الْاَمْرِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ قُلْ اِنَّ الْاَمْرَ كُلَّهٗ لِلّٰهِ یُخْفُوْنَ فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ مَّا لَا یُبْدُوْنَ لَكَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا مِنَ الْاَمْرِ شَیْءٌ مَّا قُتِلْنَا هٰهُنَا قُلْ لَّوْ كُنْتُمْ فِیْ بُیُوْتِكُمْ لَبَرَزَ الَّذِیْنَ كُتِبَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْقَتْلُ اِلٰی مَضَاجِعِهِمْ وَلِیَبْتَلِیَ اللّٰهُ مَا فِیْ صُدُوْرِكُمْ وَلِیُمَحِّصَ مَا فِیْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ ۟

After (the excitement) of the distress, He sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred to anxiety by their own feelings, Moved by wrong suspicions of Allah-suspicions due to ignorance. They said: "What affair is this of ours?" Say thou: "Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah's." They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to thee. They say (to themselves): "If we had had anything to do with this affair, We should not have been in the slaughter here." Say: "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death"; but (all this was) that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts. For Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts.
