اِذۡ جَآءُوۡکُمۡ مِّنۡ فَوۡقِکُمۡ وَمِنۡ اَسۡفَلَ مِنۡکُمۡ وَاِذۡ زَاغَتِ الۡاَبۡصٰرُ وَبَلَغَتِ الۡقُلُوۡبُ الۡحَنَاجِرَ وَتَظُنُّوۡنَ بِاللّٰہِ الظُّنُوۡنَا۠
The disbelievers burst upon Muslims from every direction—from the heights of Medina as well as from the plains. The reference in the words 'and you thought diverse thoughts about Allah,' is to the 'Hypocrites' and not to sincere and steadfast Muslims (v.13).
Commentary:
The verse constitutes a very revealing commentary on the mightiness of the forces of disbelief and the most desperate state in which Muslims were then placed. The disbelievers burst upon Medina from every direction.
The words, "from above you and from below you" mean, from the heights of Medina as well as from the plains.
The reference in the words "and you thought diverse thoughts about Allah," is to the hypocrites and the weak of faith among the Muslims. V. 13 makes it quite clear that the reference in the above words is only to these two.

اَتَّخَذۡنٰہُمۡ سِخۡرِیًّا اَمۡ زَاغَتۡ عَنۡہُمُ الۡاَبۡصٰرُ
The inmates of Hell will say to one another, 'What is the matter with us that we do not see here those men whom we looked upon as of no consequence and ridiculed in the earthly life. Did they not deserve our ridicule and were really good and godly men, or are they in Hell but we do not see them?'

مَا زَاغَ الۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغٰی
یعنی معراج کے دیکھنے میں غلطی کا کوئی امکان نہ تھا وہ ایک بلند شان کشف تھا صرف عام رؤیا یا عام کشف نہ تھا۔
Commentary:
The verse sheds a flood of light on the bedrock of certainty and invincible faith on which the Holy Prophet stood.

وَاِذۡ قَالَ مُوۡسٰی لِقَوۡمِہٖ یٰقَوۡمِ لِمَ تُؤۡذُوۡنَنِیۡ وَقَد تَّعۡلَمُوۡنَ اَنِّیۡ رَسُوۡلُ اللّٰہِ اِلَیۡکُمۡ ۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوۡۤا اَزَاغَ اللّٰہُ قُلُوۡبَہُمۡ ۚ وَاللّٰہُ لَا یَہۡدِی الۡقَوۡمَ الۡفٰسِقِیۡنَ
Perhaps no Prophet of God suffered so much mental agony at the hands of his followers as did Moses. Moses’s people had seen the mighty hosts of Pharoah drown before their very eyes and yet they had hardly crossed the sea when they sought to revert to idolatry, and seeing some people worshipping idols asked Moses to set up one such idol for them also (7:139). When asked to march into Canaan which God had promised to give them, they scornfully and brazen-facedly told Moses to go with his Lord upon Whom he had relied so much; they were not going to budge an inch from the place where they had settled (5:25). Thus Moses was repeatedly insulted by, and baulked in his efforts to reclaim from idolatry, the very people whom he had delivered from the crushing bondage of Pharoah. They even slandered and defamed him.
Commentary:
Perhaps no Prophet of God suffered so much mental agony at the hands of his followers as did Moses. Among many other signs Moses’s people had seen the mighty hosts of Pharaoh drown before their very eyes and yet they had hardly crossed the sea when they wanted to revert to idolatry, and seeing some people worshipping idols asked Moses to set up one such idol for them. They defied Moses’s brother, the Prophet Aaron, and worshipped the calf (7:149). When asked to march into Canaan which God had promised to them they scornfully and quite brazen-facedly told Moses to go with his Lord upon Whom he had relied so much; they were not going to budge an inch from the place where they had settled (5:25). Thus Moses was repeatedly insulted by, and baulked in his efforts to reclaim from idolatry, the very people whom he had delivered from the crushing bondage of Pharaoh. They even slandered and defamed him. It is to such vexatious act of these ungrateful people that the Quran has referred in 33:70.
