The Holy Quran 3:146 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِىٍّ قَـٰتَلَ مَعَهُۥ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ فَمَا وَهَنُوا۟ لِمَآ أَصَابَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوا۟ وَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

Translation

Many were the Prophets with whom large numbers of righteous (pious, religious) men fought. They never lost courage with all (the hardship and difficult) that afflicted them in the path of Allaah (even though they were hurt, faced enormous difficulties and their Prophets were killed), neither did they weaken (in Imaan) or become helpless (they never gave up). Allaah loves the steadfast ones.

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

كثير من الأنبياء السابقين قاتل معهم جموع كثيرة من أصحابهم، فما ضعفوا لِمَا نزل بهم من جروح أو قتل; لأن ذلك في سبيل ربهم، وما عَجَزوا، ولا خضعوا لعدوهم، إنما صبروا على ما أصابهم. والله يحب الصابرين.
