Quran 3:179 · Family of Imran · Madani · Para 4 · Page 73
مَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیَذَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ عَلٰی مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ عَلَیْهِ حَتّٰی یَمِیْزَ الْخَبِیْثَ مِنَ الطَّیِّبِ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَی الْغَیْبِ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَجْتَبِیْ مِنْ رُّسُلِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ۪ فَاٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖ ۚ وَاِنْ تُؤْمِنُوْا وَتَتَّقُوْا فَلَكُمْ اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟

Saheeh International
Allāh would not leave the believers in that [state] you are in [presently] until He separates the evil from the good. Nor would Allāh reveal to you the unseen. But [instead], Allāh chooses of His messengers whom He wills, so believe in Allāh and His messengers. And if you believe and fear Him, then for you is a great reward.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
Allah would not leave you, O believers, as you are, mixed with the hypocrites with no separation between you, without making it clear those who truly have faith. So He separates you through different obligations and trials, to make clear those who have faith and those who are hypocrites, and to separate the good from the bad. He would not give you knowledge of the Ghaib so that you could distinguish between a believer and a hypocrite; but Allah chooses whomever He wills of His messengers and gives them some knowledge of the Ghaib, as He gave His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) knowledge of the state of the hypocrites. So have faith in Allah and His Messenger; and if you truly have faith and are mindful of Allah, then follow His instructions and stay away from what He has prohibited – so that you gain a great reward from Allah.
