Sura 3
Aya 13
13
قَد كانَ لَكُم آيَةٌ في فِئَتَينِ التَقَتا ۖ فِئَةٌ تُقاتِلُ في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَأُخرىٰ كافِرَةٌ يَرَونَهُم مِثلَيهِم رَأيَ العَينِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يُؤَيِّدُ بِنَصرِهِ مَن يَشاءُ ۗ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَعِبرَةً لِأُولِي الأَبصارِ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

There is certainly a sign for you in the two parties that encountered each other (in the battlefield of Badr) — one party fought in the cause of Allah and the other comprised the disbelievers. They saw them with their (own) eyes as twice their own number. And Allah provides strength with His reinforcement whom He likes. In this incident there is surely a (notable) lesson of warning for those who have eyes.
