Little
.........
I shall leave him in contentment for a while...
1
How many a little company hath overcome a mighty
host by Allah's leave!
1
whether it be little or much a legal share
1
(Saying): Follow that which is sent down unto you
from your Lord, and follow no protecting friends
beside Him. Little do ye recollect
1
And We have given you (mankind) power in the earth,
and appointed for you therein a livelihood.
Little give ye thanks!
1
And remember, when ye were but few, how He
did multiply you.
1
And remember, when ye were few and reckoned feeble
in the land, and were in fear lest men should
extirpate you, how He gave you refuge, and
strengthened you with His help, and made
provision of good things for you, that haply
ye might be thankful.
1
When Allah showed them unto thee (O Muhammad)
in thy dream as few in number, and if He had
shown them to thee as many, ye (Muslims)
would have faltered and would have quarrelled
over the affair. But Allah saved (you).
1
And when He made you (Muslims), when ye met (them),
see them with your eyes as few, and lessened you
in their eyes, (it was) that Allah might conclude
a thing that must be done.
1
Then let them laugh a little: they will weep much,
as the award of what they used to earn
