the private conversation.
Such is one of the stories of what happened unseen, which We reveal by inspiration unto thee; nor wast thou (present) with them then when they concerted their plans together in the process of weaving their plots.
Thus did We make their case known to the people, that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment. Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair. (Some) said, "Construct a building over them": Their Lord knows best about them: those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them."
So they disputed, one with another, over their affair, but they kept their talk secret.
But (later generations) cut off their affair (of unity), one from another: (yet) will they all return to Us.
But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself.
那是一部分幽玄的消息,我把它启示你。当他们用计谋决策的时候,你不在他们面前,
我这样使别人窥见他们,以便他们知道真主的诺言是真实的,复活的时刻是毫无可疑的。当时,他们为此事而争论,他们说:“你们在他们的四周修一堵围墙--他们的主是最了解他们的!”主持事务的人说:“我们必定在他们的四周建筑一所礼拜寺。”
他们为这件事,议论纷纷,并且隐匿他们的议论;
他们分成了若干教派,各派都要归于我。
但他们为教义而分裂成许多宗派,各派都因自己的教义而沾沾自喜。
