The Aya says:
Then He brought down on you (plural), after the worry, safety sleepiness. It covers a group amongst you, while another group, their own selves made them concerned. They suspect in Allah, other than the binding truth, suspicion of the ignorance. They say: Will we have of the implement of entity? Say: The implement indeed, all belongs to Allah. They hide in themselves what they do not reveal to you (singular). They say: if belonged to us of the implement of an entity, we would not have been fatally injured here. Say: If you were in your shelters, then the ones on whom the fatal injury was written would have gotten exposed up to their beds. And in order that Allah tests what is in your chests, and in order that He purifies what is in your hearts. And Allah knows well in the entity of the chests.

My personal note:
This Aya continues the theme from the previous Aya. It points to the continuation of the story where they disobeyed and therefore had to sense the worry of the battle. Now, God mentioned that some of them were given peace and sleepiness while others were testy. The Aya ends with telling them that the use of LAW= If does not change what already happened.
