Umurongo: 143

وَلَقَدۡ كُنتُمۡ تَمَنَّوۡنَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن تَلۡقَوۡهُ فَقَدۡ رَأَيۡتُمُوهُ وَأَنتُمۡ تَنظُرُونَ

(143) You ˹Believers˺ were wishing for death before you met it; there you saw it with your own eyes!^[703]

[703] This is a reminder to the Believers, who missed the Battle of Badr, of their talk about wishing to meet the enemy and be struck down by them when they saw the great status the martyrs of that battle attained. It is said somewhat reprovingly to highlight that, while the Battle of Uḥud is being alluded to here, solid intentions and steadfastness, not mere fancy talk, are what actually win battles. (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī)
