Tafsir of Surah Al-Hadid 57:14

﴿يُنَادُونَهُمْ أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنتُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَارْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الْأَمَانِيُّ حَتَّىٰ جَاءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَغَرَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ﴾

Translation of the meaning

They [i.e., the hypocrites] will call to them [i.e., the believers], "Were we not with you?" They will say, "Yes, but you afflicted yourselves and awaited [misfortune for us] and doubted, and wishful thinking deluded you until there came the command of Allāh. And the Deceiver [i.e., Satan] deceived you concerning Allāh.

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim

وهذا أشد ما يكون من الحسرة والبلاء أن يفتح للعبد طريق النجاة والفلاح، حتى إذا ظن أنه ناج ورأى منازل السعداء اقتطع عنهم وضربت عليه الشقوة«طريق الهجرتين وباب السعادتين» 1/403
