اِذْ اَنْتُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوٰى وَالرَّكْبُ اَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْۗ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَدْتُّمْ لَاخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِى الْمِيْعٰدِۙ وَلٰكِنْ لِّيَقْضِيَ اللّٰهُ اَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُوْلًا ەۙ لِّيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنْۢ بَيِّنَةٍ وَّيَحْيٰى مَنْ حَيَّ عَنْۢ بَيِّنَةٍۗ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَسَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌۙ ( الأنفال: ٤٢ )

English Sahih:
[Remember] when you were on the near side of the valley, and they were on the farther side, and the caravan was lower [in position] than you. If you had made an appointment [to meet], you would have missed the appointment. But [it was] so that Allah might accomplish a matter already destined – that those who perished [through disbelief] would perish upon evidence and those who lived [in faith] would live upon evidence; and indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing. (Al-Anfal [8] : 42)
Ma Jian (Simplified):
当时，你们在山谷的近岸，敌军在远岸，而商队在你们的下面。假若你们约定相会，你们必定爽约，但（安拉集合你们），以便他判决一件必行的事，以便灭亡者见明证而后灭亡，生存者见明证而后生存。安拉确是全聪的，确是全知的。 (战利品 [8] : 42)
