Sura 8
Aya 17
17
فَلَم تَقتُلوهُم وَلٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ قَتَلَهُم ۚ وَما رَمَيتَ إِذ رَمَيتَ وَلٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ رَمىٰ ۚ وَلِيُبلِيَ المُؤمِنينَ مِنهُ بَلاءً حَسَنًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَميعٌ عَليمٌ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

(O soldiers of the Army of Islam!) It is not you who killed the disbelievers but it is Allah Who killed them, (and, O Glorious Beloved,) when you smote (them with pebbles), it was not you who smote them but Allah smote, (so) that He confers upon the believers great favours from Him. Allah is indeed All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
