Narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when this verse was revealed: {ہُوَالْقَادِرُعَلٰیأَنْیَبْعَثَعَلَیْکُمْعَذَابًامِنْفَوْقِکُمْ} … Say, "He is able to send punishment upon you from above you," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! I seek refuge in Your Face." When this part was revealed: {أَوْمِنْتَحْتِأَرْجُلِکُمْ} … "or from beneath your feet," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! I seek refuge in Your Face." And when this part was revealed: {أَوْیَلْبِسَکُمْشِیَعًاوَیُذِیقَبَعْضَکُمْبَأْسَبَعْضٍ} … "or to confuse you in sects and make you taste the violence of one another," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is lighter and easier punishment."
