Al-Fath 48:12

Word by word

بَلْ ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَنقَلِبَ ٱلرَّسُولُ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِيهِمْ أَبَدًا وَزُيِّنَ ذَٰلِكَ فِى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَظَنَنتُمْ ظَنَّ ٱلسَّوْءِ وَكُنتُمْ قَوْمًۢا بُورًا

But you thought that the Messenger and the believers would never return to their families, ever, and that was made pleasing in your hearts. And you assumed an assumption of evil and became a people ruined."

وليس الأمر كما زعمتم من انشغالكم بالأموال والأهل، بل إنكم ظننتم أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ومن معه من أصحابه سيَهْلكون، ولا يَرْجعون إليكم أبدًا، وحسَّن الشيطان ذلك في قلوبكم، وظننتم ظنًا سيئًا أن الله لن ينصر نبيه محمدًا صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه على أعدائهم، وكنتم قومًا هَلْكى لا خير فيكم.
