إِذْ یُغَشِّیکُمُ النُّعاسَ أَمَنَةً مِنْهُ وَ یُنَزِّلُ عَلَیْکُمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً لِیُطَهِّرَکُمْ بِهِ وَ یُذْهِبَ عَنْکُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّیْطانِ وَ لِیَرْبِطَ عَلى قُلُوبِکُمْ وَ یُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الْأَقْدامَ (11 )
[ O, believers! Remember ]When Allah covered you with a slumber To bestow you rest from His Presence And He caused rain to descend on You from the sky, to clean you thereby And to remove from you the impurity From Satan and to strengthen your Hearts and to keep your feet firm Therewith. 1?
إِذْ یُوحی رَبُّکَ إِلَى الْمَلائِکَةِ أَنِّی مَعَکُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذینَ آمَنُوا سَأُلْقی فی قُلُوبِ الَّذینَ کَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوْقَ الْأَعْناقِ وَ اضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ کُلَّ بَنانٍ (12 )
And[ remember O, Messenger ]When your Creator and Nurturer revealed To the Angels, stating:" Verily, I am With you; so keep you firm the believers; Soon I will cast dread into the hearts of The disbelievers; so smite above their Necks and smite their fingertips!"
ذلِکَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَاقُّوا اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ مَنْ یُشاقِقِ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدیدُ الْعِقابِ (13 )
This[ Command ]was issued Because they opposed and disobeyed Allah and Allah"s Messenger; and Whoever contends against Allah and Allah"s Messenger then[ should know That ]verily, Allah is The Severe-Retributing;
______________________________
1. Before the rain falls, the enemy had the hold of
the watering-place and the Muslims suffered from thirst in a dry and sandy desert, and could not wash and clean their body and were longing for ablution.
Allah the Grace-Bestowing sent down the rain from the sky and they felt fortified by the Divine Aid; and also the rain consolidated the loose sand and made it possible for them to plant their feet firmly.

ذلِکُمْ فَذُوقُوهُ وَ أَنَّ لِلْکافِرینَ عَذابَ النَّارِ (14 )
[ O, you who disbelieve! ]That[ Torment ]Is for this world, so taste it and know That for the disbelievers the Torment of The Fire is prepared[ in the Hereafter. ]
یا أَیُّهَا الَّذینَ آمَنُوا إِذا لَقیتُمُ الَّذینَ کَفَرُوا زَحْفاً فَلا تُوَلُّوهُمُ الْأَدْبارَ (15 )
O, you who believe! When you Encounter with an invasive group of The disbelievers in the battlefield, do Not turn your backs to them[ out of Fear ];
وَ مَنْ یُوَلِّهِمْ یَوْمَئِذٍ دُبُرَهُ إِلاَّ مُتَحَرِّفاً لِقِتالٍ أَوْ مُتَحَیِّزاً إِلى فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ باءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ مَأْواهُ جَهَنَّمُ وَ بِئْسَ الْمَصیرُ (16 )
And whoever turns his back to The enemy on such a day, unless it is Within a stratagem of war, or in order To retreat to a troop of his own, he Indeed has entitled himself to Allah"s Wrath; and his abode is the Hell, an evil Destination indeed!
فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوهُمْ وَ لکِنَّ اللَّهَ قَتَلَهُمْ وَ ما رَمَیْتَ إِذْ رَمَیْتَ وَ لکِنَّ اللَّهَ رَمى وَ لِیُبْلِیَ الْمُؤْمِنینَ مِنْهُ بَلاءً حَسَناً إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمیعٌ عَلیمٌ (17 )
So[ O, believers! ]you did not kill The disbelievers but Allah killed them[ By the Angels ]; and[ O, Messenger ]you Did not throw an arrow or[ a handful of ]Sands when you did throw but Allah Threw[ by Jibrail ], in order that Allah Might try the believers by a Gracious Trial from His Presence. Verily, Allah is The Knowing Hearer.

ذلِکُمْ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ مُوهِنُ کَیْدِ الْکافِرینَ (18 )
[ This event reminds the believers That ]Verily, Allah weakens the plot of The disbelievers.
إِنْ تَسْتَفْتِحُوا فَقَدْ جاءَکُمُ الْفَتْحُ وَ إِنْ تَنْتَهُوا فَهُوَ خَیْرٌ لَکُمْ وَ إِنْ تَعُودُوا نَعُدْ وَ لَنْ تُغْنِیَ عَنْکُمْ فِئَتُکُمْ شَیْئاً وَ لَوْ کَثُرَتْ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنینَ (19 )
[ Say O, Messenger to the disbelievers: ]" If you are seeking victory 1?[ as you Claimed and prayed before ], it has Already come upon you through The victory of Islam, so if you give up[ Fighting the believers ], it will be better For you; but if you return[ to attack ], we Shall also return; and your forces will not Avail you, though they may be many; Since Allah is the Supporter of The believers."
یا أَیُّهَا الَّذینَ آمَنُوا أَطیعُوا اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ لا تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ (20 )
O, you who believe! Obey Allah And Allah"s Messenger and do not Turn away from the Messenger While you hear his call[ to guidance ];

1. Before Quraish left Makkah to attack the Muslims
in the Badr Battle, they held on to the curtain of Ka`bah and prayed saying:" O, Allah, assist the best of the two forces and the most excellent of the two religions!"
Translation(Saffarzadeh), Page: 364
وَ لا تَکُونُوا کَالَّذینَ قالُوا سَمِعْنا وَ هُمْ لا یَسْمَعُونَ (21 )
And do not be as those who said:" We heard." Whereas they did not listen To the Divine Words;
إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الصُّمُّ الْبُکْمُ الَّذینَ لا یَعْقِلُونَ (22 )
Verily, the worst of moving Creatures in the Sight of Allah are Those who are deaf and dumb[ from Hearing and telling the truth ]and do not Use their reason;
وَ لَوْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ فیهِمْ خَیْراً لَأَسْمَعَهُمْ وَ لَوْ أَسْمَعَهُمْ لَتَوَلَّوْا وَ هُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ (23 )
If Allah had found in them any Good, He would have made them Hear;[ even so ], if He had made them Hear, they would have turned away While protesting against the Truth. 1?
یا أَیُّهَا الَّذینَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجیبُوا لِلَّهِ وَ لِلرَّسُولِ إِذا دَعاکُمْ لِما یُحْییکُمْ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ یَحُولُ بَیْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَ قَلْبِهِ وَ أَنَّهُ إِلَیْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ (24 )
O, you who believe! Give your Response to Allah and His Messenger When you are invited to that which will Give you life; 2? and know that Allah Stands between man and his heart[ And knows man"s intentions through His Embracing Knowledge ]; and Eventually you all shall be gathered to His Presence;
وَ اتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لا تُصیبَنَّ الَّذینَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْکُمْ خَاصَّةً وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدیدُ الْعِقابِ (25 )
And fear the disaster which does Not particularly affect only The wrongdoers among you when it Befalls[ such as flood and earthquake ]; And know that Allah is The Severe-Retributing;
