Here the Holy Qur’an deals with one of the most dangerous issues, which is the issue of hypocrisy within the society.

الَّذِينَ قَالُواْ لإِخْوَانِهِمْ وَقَعَدُواْ لَوْ أَطَاعُونَا مَا قُتِلُوا {Those who said about their brothers while sitting [at home], “If they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed.}: The hypocrites incited the Muslims who returned from the Battle of Uhud and raised suspicions about the commands of Allah (swt) and His decree and everything that happened in the Battle of Uhud, saying, “If they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed.” Whereas they sat down and left behind the Muslim army before they said that. Look at the divine response:

قُلْ فَادْرَؤُوا عَنْ أَنفُسِكُمُ الْمَوْتَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ{Then prevent death from yourselves, if you should be truthful.”}: Meaning, The one who knows the way of safety from killing, let him show us the path of safety from death, for Allah (swt) challenges them that a person does not die except for his time, but the most honorable death is that when a person is killed as a martyr in the cause of Allah (swt).
