اَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ اَنْ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَمَّا یَاْتِكُمْ مَّثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْؕ-مَسَّتْهُمُ الْبَاْسَآءُ وَ الضَّرَّآءُ وَ زُلْزِلُوْا حَتّٰى یَقُوْلَ الرَّسُوْلُ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مَعَهٗ مَتٰى نَصْرُ اللّٰهِؕ-اَلَاۤ اِنَّ نَصْرَ اللّٰهِ قَرِیْبٌ(214)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Do you think[1] that you will enter Paradise even though you have not yet faced the conditions of those who preceded you? They were afflicted by hardship and severity, and they were shaken with force until the Messenger ˹of that era˺ and the believers with him said, “When will Allah’s help come?” Pay heed, indeed, the help of Allah is near.

Commentary

[1]

This verse was revealed in relation to the Battle of the Trench where the Muslims faced extreme cold weather and hunger. They were advised to adopt patience and reminded that the chosen people of Allah have always faced hardships.
