Sura 9
Aya 25
25
لَقَد نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ في مَواطِنَ كَثيرَةٍ ۙ وَيَومَ حُنَينٍ ۙ إِذ أَعجَبَتكُم كَثرَتُكُم فَلَم تُغنِ عَنكُم شَيئًا وَضاقَت عَلَيكُمُ الأَرضُ بِما رَحُبَت ثُمَّ وَلَّيتُم مُدبِرينَ

N. J. Dawood

God has aided you on many a battlefield. In the Battle of Hunain1 you set great store by your numbers, but they availed you nothing: the earth, for all its vastness, seemed to close in upon you, and you turned your backs and fled.
  • Fought in A.D. 630. The Muslim army was 12,000 strong, the Meccans 4,000.
