Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.
Tafsir
Verse range: 2:214
(Or think ye that ye will enter paradise…) [2:214]. Qatadah and al-Suddi said: “This verse was revealed about the Battle of the Ditch when Muslims were stricken with exhaustion, hardship, heat, fear, cold, tightness of living and all kinds of harm. And it was as Allah, exalted is He, described: (… and hearts reached to the throats…) [33:10]”. Said 'Ata': “When the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, and his Companions migrated to Medina, the Muslims lived under extreme duress because they migrated without their wealth and had left their houses and fortunes in the hands of the idolaters, preferring instead the good pleasure of Allah and His Messenger. Additionally, the Jews manifested their enmity to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, and a number of wealthy people were hypocrites in secret. In order to set their minds at rest, Allah, exalted is He, revealed (Or think ye that ye will enter paradise…)”.
