آلِ عِمْرَان : ١٢٢

  • إِذۡ When
  • هَمَّت inclined
  • طَّآئِفَتَانِ two parties
  • مِنكُمۡ among you
  • أَن that
  • تَفۡشَلَا they lost heart
  • وَٱللَّهُ but Allah
  • وَلِيُّهُمَاۗ (was) their protector
  • وَعَلَى And on
  • ٱللَّهِ Allah
  • فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ let put (their) trust
  • ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ the believers
When two parties among you were about to lose courage, but Allāh was their ally; and upon Allāh the believers should rely.
When (idh, substitutes for the previous idh) two parties of you, the Banoo Salima and the Banoo Haaritha, the two flanks of the army, were about to lose heart, [about] to shrink from the battle and retreat, after 'Abd Allaah ibn Ubayy, the hypocrite, and his companions began to retreat. He [Ibn Ubayy] said, 'Why should we get ourselves and our children killed?' and he also said to Aboo Jaabir al-Salamee - who had said to him, 'I implore you by God for your Prophet's sake and yours' - 'If we knew how to fight, we would follow you!' But God then made them [the Banoo Salima and the Banoo Haaritha] steadfast and they did not abandon [the field]; and God was their Protector, their Helper, and let the believers rely on God, let them place their trust in Him and none other.
