Darsul Quran. Āl Imran [Family of Imran]: 153

Allah surely made good to you His promise on the day of Uhud when you were slaying and destroying them by His leave. Then when you faltered CONCERNING OBEDIENCE TO THE HOLY PROPHET (MAY PEACE AND BLESSINGS OF ALLAH BE UPON HIM), and started arguing among yourselves regarding the true intent of the order and disobeyed after He had granted you your heart's desire IN THE FORM OF VICTORY, He withdrew His support from you. Some of you desired the goods of this world and some of you desired the Hereafter. Then He safeguarded you against the attack of the enemy that He might try you, having pardoned you, for Allah is Gracious to the faithful.
