[8:9]
When ye sought help of your Lord and He answered
you (saying): I will help you with a thousand of the angels, rank on rank.
[8:10]
Allah appointed it only as good tidings, and
that your hearts thereby might be at rest. Victory cometh
only by the help of Allah. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise.
[8:11]
When He made the slumber fall upon you as a
reassurance from him and sent down water from the sky upon you, that thereby He
might purify you, and remove from you the fear of Satan, and make strong your
hearts and firm (your) feet thereby.
[8:12]
When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I
am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the
hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each
finger.
[8:13]
That is because they opposed Allah and His
messenger. Whoso opposeth Allah and His messenger, (for him) lo! Allah is severe
in punishment.
[8:14]
That (is the award), so taste it, and (know)
that for disbelievers is the torment of the Fire.
[8:15]
O ye who believe! When ye meet those who
disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them.
[8:16]
Whoso on that day turneth his back to them,
unless manoeuvring for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath
incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey’s
end.
