إِذ أَنتُم بِالعُدوَةِ الدُّنيا وَهُم بِالعُدوَةِ القُصوىٰ وَالرَّكبُ أَسفَلَ مِنكُم ۚ وَلَو تَواعَدتُم لَاختَلَفتُم فِي الميعادِ ۙ وَلـٰكِن لِيَقضِيَ اللَّهُ أَمرًا كانَ مَفعولًا لِيَهلِكَ مَن هَلَكَ عَن بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحيىٰ مَن حَيَّ عَن بَيِّنَةٍ ۗ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَسَميعٌ عَليمٌ

When you were on the near bank, they were on the far bank, and the caravan was below you. Had you made a mutual appointment, you would’ve failed to keep it. But God intended to accomplish a predestined matter, so that those who perished would perish by clear evidence, and those who survived would survive by clear evidence. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
