| 9. When you implored the help of your Lord, and HE answered your prayer saying, `I will surely help you with a thousand of the angels, rank on rank.' 10. And ALLAH made it only as a glad tidings so that your hearts might be at rest. But help comes from ALLAH alone; surely ALLAH is Mighty, Wise. 11. And when HE caused sleep to come upon you as a sign of security from HIM, and HE sent down water upon you from the clouds, that thereby HE might purify you, and remove from you the uncleanliness of Satan, and that HE might strengthen your hearts and make your steps firm therewith. 12. When thy Lord revealed to the angels, saying, `I am with you; so make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Smite them above their necks, and smite off all finger-tips.' 13. That is because they have opposed ALLAH and HIS Messenger. And whoso opposes ALLAH and HIS Messenger, Then ALLAH is surely Severe in retribution. 14. That is your punishment, taste it then; and remember that for disbelievers there is the punishment of the Fire. 15. O ye who believe ! when you meet those who disbelieve, advancing in force, turn not your backs to them. 16. And whoso turns his back to them on such a day, unless manoeuvring for battle or turning to join another company, he indeed draws upon himself the wrath of ALLAH, and Hell shall be his abode. And an evil resort it is. |
