سورة الأنفال، الآية ٤٢Surah Al-Anfal, ayah 42 (8:42)
إِذۡ أَنتُم بِٱلۡعُدۡوَةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَهُم بِٱلۡعُدۡوَةِ ٱلۡقُصۡوَىٰ وَٱلرَّكۡبُ أَسۡفَلَ مِنكُمۡ وَلَوۡ تَوَاعَدتُّمۡ لَٱخۡتَلَفۡتُمۡ فِى ٱلۡمِيعَٰدِ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَقۡضِىَ ٱللَّهُ أَمۡرًا كَانَ مَفۡعُولًا لِّيَهۡلِكَ مَنۡ هَلَكَ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحۡيَىٰ مَنۡ حَىَّ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٍ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَسَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٤٢
The meaning in English
(And remember) when you (the Muslim army) were on the near side of the valley, and they on the farther side, and the caravan on the ground lower than you. Even if you had made a mutual appointment to meet, you would certainly have failed in the appointment, but (you met) that Allâh might accomplish a matter already ordained (in His Knowledge), so that those who were to be destroyed (for their rejecting the Faith) might be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who were to live (i.e. believers) might live after a clear evidence. And surely, Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

التفسير الميسر
واذكروا حينما كنتم على جانب الوادي الأقرب إلى "المدينة"، وعدوكم نازل بجانب الوادي الأقصى، وعِير التجارة في مكان أسفل منكم إلى ساحل "البحر الأحمر"، ولو حاولتم أن تضعوا موعدًا لهذا اللقاء لاختلفتم، ولكنَّ الله جمعكم على غير ميعاد؛ ليقضي أمرًا كان مفعولا بنصر أوليائه، وخِذْلان أعدائه بالقتل والأسر؛ وذلك ليهلك من هلك منهم عن حجة لله ثبتت له فعاينها وقطعت عذره، وليحيا مَن حيَّ عن حجة لله قد ثبتت وظهرت له. وإن الله لسميع لأقوال الفريقين، لا يخفى عليه شيء، عليم بنيَّاتهم
