بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

8.17-18

فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوْهُمْ وَ لٰـكِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَتَلَهُمْ۪-وَ مَا رَمَیْتَ اِذْ رَمَیْتَ وَ لٰـكِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَمٰىۚ-وَ لِیُبْلِیَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ مِنْهُ بَلَآءً حَسَنًاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ(17) ذٰلِكُمْ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُوْهِنُ كَیْدِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ(18)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

So you did not kill them, rather Allah killed them;[1] and ˹Dear Beloved Prophet,˺ you did not throw dust when you threw, rather it was Allah who threw, and so that He endows Muslims with an excellent reward from Himself—indeed Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. That ˹is the truth˺ and ˹know˺ that Allah weakens the plot of the disbelievers.

Commentary

[1]

This verse expresses that good actions should be attributed to Allah Almighty, and one should not boast about them as these good deeds are done by the individual with the ability granted by Allah Almighty.
