How many a little company hath overcome a mighty
host by Allah's leave! 
1

There was a token for you in two hosts which met
1

one army fighting in the way of Allah, and another
disbelieving, whom they saw as twice their number,
clearly, with their very eyes.
1

What aileth you that ye are become two parties
regarding the hypocrites, when Allah cast 
them back (to disbelief) because of what they earned?
1

Whoso on that day turneth his back to them,
unless maneuvering 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.
1 

And your host will avail you naught,
however numerous it be
1

O ye who believe! When ye meet an army, hold firm
and think of Allah much, that ye may be successful.
1

But when the armies came in sight of one another,
he took flight, saying: Lo! I am guiltless of you.
Lo! I see that which ye see not. Lo! I fear Allah.
