That is when the believers were truly tested; they were severely shaken up.

And the hypocrites and those who have a sickness in their hearts said: "God and His messenger promised us nothing but delusion!"

And a group of them said: "O people of Yathrib, there is no station for you, so come back." And a small party of them sought permission from the prophet, saying: "Our homes are exposed," while they were not exposed. They just wanted to flee.

And if the enemy had entered at them from all sides, and then they were asked to betray, they would do so with very little hesitation.

And indeed they had pledged to God before this that they would not turn around and flee; and making a pledge to God brings great responsibility.
