[ البقرة: 243]
2:243 Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, fearing death? Allah said to them, "Die"; then He restored them to life. And Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishDo you not know, O Prophet, about those who left their homes in huge numbers fearing death due to the plague or something similar? This refers to a group of people from the Israelites.
Allah said to them, ‘Die!’ and they did.
Then Allah brought them back to life to show them that everything is in His Hands and that they have no control over any benefit or harm.
Allah is Gracious and Bountiful to people, but most people are ungrateful for His favours.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Did you (O Muhammad SAW) not think of those who went forth from their homes in thousands, fearing death? Allah said to them, "Die". And then He restored them to life. Truly, Allah is full of Bounty to mankind, but most men thank not.

2:243 Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, translate in arabic
ألم تر إلى الذين خرجوا من ديارهم وهم ألوف حذر الموت فقال لهم الله موتوا ثم أحياهم إن الله لذو فضل على الناس ولكن أكثر الناس لا يشكرون
سورة: البقرة - آية: ( 243 ) - جزء: ( 2 ) - صفحة: ( 39 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Have you not seen, O Muhammad, into the event of those who fled their dwellings by the thousands in the face of hostility from the enemy of faith in fear of death? Consequently, Allah pronounced them dead and their hopes died as well. Then in mercy He revived their hopes and infused renewed life into them. Indeed, Allah’s efficacious grace abounds in people but most of them show no gratitude nor do their hearts surge, responding thankfully
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:243) Have *265 you ever reflected upon the case of those who fled their homes for fear of death, and they were thousands in number? So Allah said to them, "Die"; then He again gave them life. *266 Indeed Allah is bountiful to mankind, but most of the people are ungrateful.
Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, meaning
*265). Here begins a fresh discourse, in which Muslims are urged to struggle and make financial sacrifices for God's cause. Moreover, they have been warned to avoid those forms of corruption which eventually led the Children of Israel into decline and degeneration. In order to appreciate this discourse it should be borne in mind that it was revealed when the Muslims had been driven out of Makka and had lived in Madina for year and a half. Exasperated by the wrongs to which the unbelievers subjected them, the Muslims had again and again asked the Prophet to permit them to fight. But when they were at long last asked to fight, some of them showed a degree of reluctance and disinclination (see verse 216 above). Their attention is now drawn, therefore, to two incidents in the history of the Israelites from which the may learn their lesson.
*266). This refers to the exodus of the Israelites. Surah 5 (see verse 20 ff. ) gives some details of this incident. The Israelites had left Egypt in large numbers and were wandering in the desert, eager to find a home. But when at God's command Moses ordered them to drive the Canaanites out of Palestine and conquer that land, thes showed cowardice and refused to proceed. Eventually God let them wander about for forty years till one full generation of Israelites had died and been replaced by a new one reared in the tough conditions of desert life. It was only, then that God enabled the Israelites to overcome the Canaanites. Their former condition is described as death, whereas the later development is seen as their restoration to life.
Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, meaning in Urdu
تم نے اُن لوگوں کے حال پر بھی کچھ غور کیا، جو موت کے ڈر سے اپنے گھر بار چھوڑ کر نکلے تھے اور ہزاروں کی تعداد میں تھے؟ اللہ نے اُن سے فرمایا: مر جاؤ پھر اُس نے اُن کو دوبارہ زندگی بخشی حقیقت یہ ہے کہ اللہ انسان پر بڑا فضل فرمانے والا ہے مگر اکثر لوگ شکر ادا نہیں کرتے
