بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

8.42

اِذْ اَنْتُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ هُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوٰى وَ الرَّكْبُ اَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْؕ-وَ لَوْ تَوَاعَدْتُّمْ لَاخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِی الْمِیْعٰدِۙ-وَ لٰـكِنْ لِّیَقْضِیَ اللّٰهُ اَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُوْلًا ﳔ لِّیَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنْۢ بَیِّنَةٍ وَّ یَحْیٰى مَنْ حَیَّ عَنْۢ بَیِّنَةٍؕ-وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَسَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌۙ (42)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

When you were on the near side and they (the disbelievers) were on the far side and the caravan was below you; had you promised one another, then indeed you would have disagreed regarding its duration, and however (this happened) so that Allah completes the matter that was to occur, so that he who is to perish would perish with clear evidence and he who is to live would live with clear evidence;[1] and indeed Allah is certainly All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Commentary

[1]

Here, “perish” refers to disbelief and “live” means faith. The victory of Badr established the proof of Islam and the prophethood of the Beloved Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم; so now he who adopts disbelief will perish after proof was established, and the one who embraces Islam shall live after proof was established.
