Abridged Explanation of the Quran

O 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.
