Commentary — Tafsīr al-Jalālayn
All that they said when their prophet had been killed while they stood their ground and were steadfast was ‘Our Lord forgive us our sins and our excesses our overstepping the bounds in our affairs a declaration of the fact that what had befallen them was the result of their evil actions and a humbling of their selves and make firm our feet with strength for the struggle and help us against the unbelieving folk’.
