إِذْ أَنْتُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْیا وَ هُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوى‏ وَ الرَّکْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنْکُمْ وَ لَوْ تَواعَدْتُمْ لاَخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِی الْمیعادِ وَ لکِنْ لِیَقْضِیَ اللَّهُ أَمْراً کانَ مَفْعُولاً لِیَهْلِکَ مَنْ هَلَکَ عَنْ بَیِّنَةٍ وَ یَحْیى‏ مَنْ حَیَّ عَنْ بَیِّنَةٍ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَسَمیعٌ عَلیمٌ (42  )

[ Remember ]When you,[ Muslims ]Were on the near side[ of the valley ]And the enemy were on the farthest Side of it, while the caravan[ of Quraish ]was in a lower ground than You; and if you mutually had made an Appointment,­ 1? certainly you Would have failed to fulfill it but[ you encountered with them by Allah"s Will ]in order that Allah might accomplish a matter which Had Ordained already; so that those Who should perish, may perish based On a clear proof and those who Should live, may live based on a clear Proof. And verily, Allah is The Knowing Hearer,[ on hearing The pleading of your soul, brought About the victory as a response. ]

إِذْ یُریکَهُمُ اللَّهُ فی‏ مَنامِکَ قَلیلاً وَ لَوْ أَراکَهُمْ کَثیراً لَفَشِلْتُمْ وَ لَتَنازَعْتُمْ فِی الْأَمْرِ وَ لکِنَّ اللَّهَ سَلَّمَ إِنَّهُ عَلیمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ (43  )

[ O, Messenger ]Remember when Allah Showed them­ 2? to you in your dream as a Small group and if Allah had showed Them to you as many[ as they were ]Certainly you would have become Disheartened and certainly you would Have disputed about the matter, but Allah did save you[ through causing the Dream for you ]; verily, Allah is the Knower of what is in the hearts;

وَ إِذْ یُریکُمُوهُمْ إِذِ الْتَقَیْتُمْ فی‏ أَعْیُنِکُمْ قَلیلاً وَ یُقَلِّلُکُمْ فی‏ أَعْیُنِهِمْ لِیَقْضِیَ اللَّهُ أَمْراً کانَ مَفْعُولاً وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورُ (44  )

And[ remember ]when you,[ Muslims ]met[ the army of The disbelievers on the day of the Badr Battle ]: Allah made them appear to you As few in your eyes­ 1? and made you Appear as few in their eyes,­ 2? so that Allah might accomplish a matter already Ordained­ 3? and to Allah all matters are Referred.

یا أَیُّهَا الَّذینَ آمَنُوا إِذا لَقیتُمْ فِئَةً فَاثْبُتُوا وَ اذْکُرُوا اللَّهَ کَثیراً لَعَلَّکُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ (45  )

O, you who believe! When you meet an Enemy force, hold firm against them and Invoke severely to Allah"s Remembrance And Attributes that you may succeed;

وَ أَطیعُوا اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ لا تَنازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَ تَذْهَبَ ریحُکُمْ وَ اصْبِرُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرینَ (46  )

And obey Allah and Allah"s Messenger and do not quarrel with One another, lest you may get Weak-hearted and your spiritual power May go away; and be patient in Allah"s Way, surely Allah is the Supporter of The patient;

وَ لا تَکُونُوا کَالَّذینَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ دِیارِهِمْ بَطَراً وَ رِئاءَ النَّاسِ وَ یَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبیلِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ بِما یَعْمَلُونَ مُحیطٌ (47  )

And do not be like those who got out From their homes joyfully in order To show off to men and to hinder Others from Allah"s Way;­ 4? verily, Allah"s Knowledge does encompass what they Do.

وَ إِذْ زَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطانُ أَعْمالَهُمْ وَ قالَ لا غالِبَ لَکُمُ الْیَوْمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ إِنِّی جارٌ لَکُمْ فَلَمَّا تَراءَتِ الْفِئَتانِ نَکَصَ عَلى‏ عَقِبَیْهِ وَ قالَ إِنِّی بَری‏ءٌ مِنْکُمْ إِنِّی أَرى‏ ما لا تَرَوْنَ إِنِّی أَخافُ اللَّهَ وَ اللَّهُ شَدیدُ الْعِقابِ (48  )

And remember[ O, Messenger ]When Satan made their evil deeds Fair-seeming to them and said:" None Of Muslims can overcome you this day­ 1? And verily, I am near you and will Support you." But when the two hosts Met[ and Satan sensed the help of The Angels ], he ran away while saying:" Verily, I am clear of you; verily, I see That which you cannot see;­ 2? I fear Allah, And Allah is the Severe-Retributing."

إِذْ یَقُولُ الْمُنافِقُونَ وَ الَّذینَ فی‏ قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ غَرَّ هؤُلاءِ دینُهُمْ وَ مَنْ یَتَوَکَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزیزٌ حَکیمٌ (49  )

Then the hypocrites and those in Whose hearts is a disease said:" These Muslims are deceived by their Religion." Whoever puts his trust in Allah[ will find that ], Allah is The Source-Wisdom Supreme power.

وَ لَوْ تَرى‏ إِذْ یَتَوَفَّى الَّذینَ کَفَرُوا الْمَلائِکَةُ یَضْرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَ أَدْبارَهُمْ وَ ذُوقُوا عَذابَ الْحَریقِ (50  )

And if only you[ O, Messenger ]could See when the Angels[ of death ]take Away the souls of the disbelievers, Smiting their faces and their backs[ Saying: ]" Taste you the Torment of The Blazing Fire!"

ذلِکَ بِما قَدَّمَتْ أَیْدیکُمْ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَیْسَ بِظَلاَّمٍ لِلْعَبیدِ (51  )

[ And the Angels will also tell Them: ]" This is because of that which Your hands have forwarded; and verily, Allah is the least unjust to His human Creatures."

کَدَأْبِ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ الَّذینَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ کَفَرُوا بِآیاتِ اللَّهِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِیٌّ شَدیدُ الْعِقابِ (52  )

Their behaviour is similar to that of The people of Firown and of those Disbelievers before them; they denied The Signs and Miracles of Allah, so Allah punished them for their sins. Verily, Allah is the Powerful Severe-Retributing;

ذلِکَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ یَکُ مُغَیِّراً نِعْمَةً أَنْعَمَها عَلى‏ قَوْمٍ حَتَّى یُغَیِّرُوا ما بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ سَمیعٌ عَلیمٌ (53  )

This indicate that Allah will never Change the bounty which has Bestowed upon a people unless they Change what is in themselves;[ out of Rebellion ]and verily, Allah is The Knowing Hearer:

کَدَأْبِ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ الَّذینَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ کَذَّبُوا بِآیاتِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَهْلَکْناهُمْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَ أَغْرَقْنا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ کُلٌّ کانُوا ظالِمینَ (54  )

The manner of Quraish is similar to that Of the people of Firown and of those Disbelievers before them: They belied The Signs of their Creator, so We Destroyed them for their sins and We Drowned the people of Firown; because They all were self-oppressors i. e., Disbelievers;­ 1?
