Commentary
If a good fortune, victory, and spoils befall you in some of the battles, it will sadden them. And if a calamity, disaster, or hardship befalls you in some of them, like what happened on the Day of Uhud, they will rejoice in their state of deviating from you. They will say, 'We have taken our matter,' meaning our matter which we are characterized by, of caution, vigilance, and acting with resolve beforehand, before what occurred. They turned away from the position of discussing that and gathering for it to their families, and they are happy and delighted. It is said: they turned away: they turned away from the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him.
