قرآن ﴿ ويقول الذين آمنوا لولا نزلت سورة فإذا أنزلت سورة محكمة وذكر فيها القتال رأيت الذين في قلوبهم مرض ينظرون إليك نظر المغشي عليه من الموت ﴾ محمد ٢٠
وقولهم ﴿ لولا نزلت سورة ﴾ المراد منه سورة فيها تكليف بمحن المؤمن والمنافق ثم إنه تعالى أنزل سورة فيها القتال فإنه أشق تكليف
تفسير الرازي
{ Those who have believed say: “Were that a surah would be sent down”; but when a surah that is firm was sent down, and fighting was mentioned in it, you saw those with sickness in their hearts look at you with the look of someone whose death is looming over them } Muhammad 20
Their words: { Were that a surah would be sent down } : the intended meaning is a surah with an assignment to put the Believers and the hypocrites to the test. Indeed the Most High then sent down a surah with fighting in it, since this is surely the most difficult assignment.
