Koran 8:42 — Sure Al-Anfal, Vers 42

إِذۡ أَنتُم بِٱلۡعُدۡوَةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَهُم بِٱلۡعُدۡوَةِ ٱلۡقُصۡوَىٰ وَٱلرَّكۡبُ أَسۡفَلَ مِنكُمۡۚ وَلَوۡ تَوَاعَدتُّمۡ لَٱخۡتَلَفۡتُمۡ فِي ٱلۡمِيعَٰدِ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَقۡضِيَ ٱللَّهُ أَمۡرٗا كَانَ مَفۡعُولٗا لِّيَهۡلِكَ مَنۡ هَلَكَ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٖ وَيَحۡيَىٰ مَنۡ حَيَّ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٖۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَسَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Als ihr auf der näheren Talseite wart, sie auf der ferneren Talseite und die Karawane unterhalb von euch. Und wenn ihr euch verabredet hättet, wäret ihr über die Verabredung fürwahr uneinig gewesen, aber (es geschah so), damit Allah eine Angelegenheit entscheide, die ausgeführt werden sollte, damit, wer umkam, auf Grund eines klaren Beweises umkäme, und wer am Leben bliebe, auf Grund eines klaren Beweises am Leben bliebe. Allah ist wahrlich Allhörend und Allwissend.

[Remember] when you were on the near side of the valley, and they were on the farther side, and the caravan was lower [in position] than you. If you had made an appointment [to meet], you would have missed the appointment. But [it was] so that Allah might accomplish a matter already destined - that those who perished [through disbelief] would perish upon evidence and those who lived [in faith] would live upon evidence; and indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing

• Rowwad Translation Center (de): (Gedenkt,) als ihr auf der näheren Talseite wart, sie auf der ferneren Talseite und die Karawane (und Reittiere) unterhalb von euch. Und wenn ihr euch verabredet hättet, wäret ihr über die Verabredung gewiss uneinig gewesen. Aber (dies geschah so), damit Allah eine Angelegenheit entscheide, die ausgeführt werden sollte, damit, wer umkam, aufgrund eines klaren Beweises umkäme, und wer am Leben bliebe, aufgrund eines klaren Beweises am Leben bliebe. Und Allah ist wahrlich allhörend und allwissend.
• Hilali & Khan: (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.
• Rowwad Translation Center (en): [Remember] when you were on the near side of the valley [of Badr], and they were on the far side, and the caravan was on the lower ground beneath you. If you had made prior arrangements to encounter, you would have failed to keep that appointment. But [it happened] so that Allah might accomplish what had already been decreed, and so that those who chose to perish would perish after seeing clear evidence, and those who chose to survive would survive after seeing clear evidence. Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
