If they intend to deceive you, God is enough for you: it was He who strengthened you with His help,

and with the believers, and brought their hearts together. Even if you had given away everything in the earth you could not have done this, but God brought them together: God is mighty and wise.

Prophet, God is enough for you, and for the believers who follow you.

Prophet, urge the believers to fight: if there are twenty of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred, and a hundred of you, if steadfast, will overcome a thousand of the disbelievers, for they are people who do not understand.

But God has lightened your burden for now, knowing that there is weakness in you––a steadfast hundred of you will defeat two hundred and a steadfast thousand of you will defeat two thousand, by God’s permission: God is with the steadfast.

It is not right for a prophet to take captives before he has conquered the battlefield. You [people] desire the transient goods of this world, but God desires the Hereafter [for you]- God is mighty and wise-

and had it not been preordained by God, a severe punishment would have come upon you for what you have taken.

So enjoy in a good and lawful manner the things you have gained in war and be mindful of God: He is forgiving and merciful.
