﴿وَلَقَدْ كُنتُمْ تَمَنَّوْنَ الْمَوْتَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَلْقَوْهُ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ وَأَنتُمْ تَنظُرُونَ﴾
[ آل عمران: 143]
3:143 And you had certainly wished for martyrdom before you encountered it, and you have [now] seen it [before you] while you were looking on.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishO believers, you wished to meet the disbelievers so that you could gain martyrdom for the sake of Allah, like your brothers did on the day of Badr, before you saw the severity and ways of death.
Now on the day of Uḥud you have seen what you wished for with your own eyes.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
You did indeed wish for death (Ash-Shahadah - martyrdom) before you met it. Now you have seen it openly with your own eyes.
