The Holy Quran 8:66 — Surah Al-Anfal

Arabic text

ٱلْـَٔـٰنَ خَفَّفَ ٱللَّهُ عَنكُمْ وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ فِيكُمْ ضَعْفًا ۚ فَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُم مِّا۟ئَةٌ صَابِرَةٌ يَغْلِبُوا۟ مِا۟ئَتَيْنِ ۚ وَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُمْ أَلْفٌ يَغْلِبُوٓا۟ أَلْفَيْنِ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

Translation

Now Allaah has lightened your burden (load) as He knows that there is weakness within you. So if there are a hundred of you who exercise sabr, they will overcome two hundred (of the enemy in battle). (Similarly,) If there are a thousand of you, they will overcome two thousand (of the enemy) by the order of Allaah. Allaah is with those who exercise sabr (who are firm-footed and He will assist them through all difficulties).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

الآن خفف الله عنكم أيها المؤمنون لما فيكم من الضعف، فإن يكن منكم مائة صابرة يغلبوا مائتين من الكافرين، وإن يكن منكم ألف يغلبوا ألفين منهم بإذن الله تعالى. والله مع الصابرين بتأييده ونصره.
