Transliteration:( Bal zanantum al lany yanqalibar Rasoolu walmu'minoona ilaaa ahleehim abadanw wa zuyyina zaalika fee quloobikum wa zanantum zannnas saw'i wa kuntum qawmam booraa )
31. In fact they were martyred at the hands of all the infidels. From this, we understand that all the fourteen hundred Companions who had journeyed with the Holy Prophet are all believers of the highest quality because Allah Almighty had addressed them as "believers." If any wretch now doubts the faith of anyone from them, is denying the veracity of this verse.
32. So that infidelity will overcome Islam (Allah forbid) and that the dream of the Holy Prophet ﷺ is not true .
33. That you became entitled to Divine Punishment. This tells us that none of the Noble Companions of Bai'atur Ridwaan shall be entitled to any punishment; otherwise, this distinction would have been wrong.
The tafsir of Surah Fath verse 12 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Fath ayat 11 which provides the complete commentary from verse 11 through 14.
(48:12) (But the truth is not what you say.) You had imagined that the Messenger and the believers would never return to their families, and this notion was embellished in your hearts.[23] You harboured an evil thought, and you are an immensely evil people.”[24]
23. That is, you were delighted to think that you had saved yourselves from the danger into which the Messenger (peace be upon him) and his believing supporters were going. You thought you had done so by dint of your great wisdom; and you also did not feel any compunction in rejoicing at the thought that the Messenger (peace be upon him) and the believers would not return alive from their expedition. You did not feel uneasy in spite of your claim to the faith but were pleased to think that you did not put yourselves in the danger by accompanying the Messenger (peace be upon him).
24. The word ba-ir (pl. bur in the original) has two meanings:
(1) A sinful, perverted and evil-minded person who is incapable of doing anything good.
(2) One who is doomed to an evil end and is following the path of destruction.
