سورة الأحزاب، الآية ١٥
وَلَقَدْ كَانُوا۟ عَٰهَدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مِن قَبْلُ لَا يُوَلُّونَ ٱلْأَدْبَٰرَ وَكَانَ عَهْدُ ٱللَّهِ مَسْـُٔولًا ١٥

And they had already promised Allāh before not to turn their backs [i.e., flee]. And ever is the promise to Allāh [that about which one will be] questioned.

And these hypocrites had promised Allah after they fled from fighting on the occasion of Uhud that if Allah were to make them witness another battle, they will definitely fight their enemy and not flee out of fear. However, they broke their promise. And the servant is responsible for the promise he made to Allah and he will soon be questioned about it.
They had already made a covenant with Allah earlier that they would not turn and flee, and the covenant of Allah will surely be questioned about.
And indeed they had already made a covenant with Allâh not to turn their backs, and a covenant with Allâh must be answered for.
And verily they had already sworn unto Allah that they would not turn their backs (to the foe). An oath to Allah must be answered for.
And yet they had already covenanted with Allah not to turn their backs, and a covenant with Allah must (surely) be answered for.
And certainly they had made a covenant with Allah before, that) they would not turn (their) backs; and Allah's covenant shall be inquired of.
And indeed they had already covenanted with Allah earlier, that they would not turn their backs; and a covenant with Allah will be questioned.
