Translation
(8:49) And recall when the hypocrites and those whose hearts were diseased said: 'Their faith has deluded these (believers).39 But he who puts his trust in Allah shall find Allah All-Mighty. All-Wise.' (8:50) And if you could only see when the angels took away the souls of the unbelievers, striking them on their faces and backs, saying: 'Taste the torment of burning. (8:51) This is your punishment for what your hands wrought. Allah is not unjust in the least to His creatures.' (8:52) Their case is like that of the people of Pharaoh and those before them. They denied the signs of Allah and so Allah seized them for their sins. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Stern in retribution. (8:53) This happened because Allah is not one to change the favour which He has bestowed upon a people until they have changed their attitude.40, Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (8:54) Their case is like that of the people of Pharaoh and those before them: they rejected the signs of their Lord as false and so We destroyed them for their sins, and caused the people of Pharaoh to drown. For they were wrong-doers all.
Commentary

39. Observing that a small band of resourceless Muslims was getting ready to confront the powerful Quraysh, the hypocrites as well as those who were heedless of God and cared only for worldly interests, often tended to say to one another that the religious passion of the Muslims had driven them to utter fanaticism and zealotry. They were sure that the Muslims would face a total rout on the battlefield. They were puzzled by how the Prophet (peace be on him), in whom the Muslims believed, had cast such a spell over them that they were altogether incapable of rational calculation and were hence rushing straight into the very mouth of death.

40. Unless a nation renders itself totally unworthy of God's favour, it is not deprived of it.
