after He had shown you that which you loved.

Some among you wanted the world, and some among you wanted the Everlasting Life.
Then He made you turn away from them in order to test you.

But He has forgiven you, for Allah is Bounteous to the believers."
Koran 3:152

However, regarding those who deserted the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) before
they reached Uhud, it was later revealed when they proved themselves to be penitent
believers:

"Those of you who turned away on the day when the two armies met

must have been seduced by satan on account of some of what they had earned.
But Allah has pardoned them. He is Forgiving and Clement."

Koran 3:155
