[The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: (They tested the believers)]
We passed over in the interpretation of the verse: [al-Buruj: 10] You mentioned two interpretations of how they tested the believers: either they burned them, or they turned them away from their religion. Is the interpretation of the verse limited to these two meanings?
The exegetes stated that they turned them away from their religion or burned them.And We said: The verse encompasses both meanings; for some of them, may Allah protect us, were tested and apostatized from their religion, while others remained steadfast in their religion and were burned. This is what appears to me, and Allah knows best.
