Sura 3
Aya 156
156
يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تَكونوا كَالَّذينَ كَفَروا وَقالوا لِإِخوانِهِم إِذا ضَرَبوا فِي الأَرضِ أَو كانوا غُزًّى لَو كانوا عِندَنا ما ماتوا وَما قُتِلوا لِيَجعَلَ اللَّهُ ذٰلِكَ حَسرَةً في قُلوبِهِم ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُحيي وَيُميتُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ بَصيرٌ

Ahmed Ali

O you who believe, do not be like those who deny, and say of their brethren (who died) travelling in the land or fighting: “Had they stayed with us here they would not have died or been killed.” This happened so that God may fill their hearts with grief. God is the giver of life and death and sees all that you do.
