Sura al-Anfāl 8:42

إِذْ أَنتُم بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُم بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ ٱلْقُصْوَىٰ وَٱلرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَدتُّمْ لَٱخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْمِيعَٰدِ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَقْضِىَ ٱللَّـهُ أَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُولًا لِّيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحْيَىٰ مَنْ حَىَّ عَنۢ بَيِّنَةٍ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ لَسَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

idh antum bil-ʿudwati l-dunyā wa-hum bil-ʿudwati l-quṣwā wa-l-rakbu asfala minkum wa-law tawāʿadttum la-ikhtalaftum fī l-mīʿādi wa-lākin llīaqḍīa allāhu amran kāna mafʿūlan llīahlika man halaka ʿan bayyinatin wa-yaḥya man ḥaya ʿan bayyinatin wa-inna allāha lasamīʿun ʿalīmun

Remember ye were on the hither side of the valley, and they on the farther side, and the caravan on lower ground than ye. Even if ye had made a mutual appointment to meet, ye would certainly have failed in the appointment: But (thus ye met), that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted; that those who died might die after a clear Sign (had been given), and those who lived might live after a Clear Sign (had been given). And verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).

Sura al-Anfāl 8:44

وَإِذْ يُرِيكُمُوهُمْ إِذِ ٱلْتَقَيْتُمْ فِىٓ أَعْيُنِكُمْ قَلِيلًا وَيُقَلِّلُكُمْ فِىٓ أَعْيُنِهِمْ لِيَقْضِىَ ٱللَّـهُ أَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُولًا وَإِلَى ٱللَّـهِ تُرْجَعُ ٱلْأُمُورُ

wa-idh yurīkumūhum idhi l-taqaytum fī aʿyunikum qalīlan wa-yuqalilukum fī aʿyunihim li-yaqḍiya allāhu amran kāna mafʿūlan wa-ilā allāhi turjaʿu l-umūru

And remember when ye met, He showed them to you as few in your eyes, and He made you appear as contemptible in their eyes: that Allah might accomplish a matter already enacted. For to Allah do all questions go back (for decision).
