إِذْ تَسْتَغِیثُونَ رَبَّکُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَکُمْ أَنِّى مُمِدُّکُم بِأَلْف مِّنَ الْمَلَئِکَةِ مُرْدِفِینَ (9)

9- WHEN YOU WERE PRAYING TO YOUR LORD FOR HELP, AND HE ANSWERED YOU, SAYING: `I SHALL REINFORCE YOU WITH A THOUSAND ANGELS, FOLLOWING ONE ANOTHER'.

وَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللهُ إِلاّ بُشْرى وَلِتَطْمَئِنَّ بِهِ قُلُوبُکُمْ وَمَا النَّصْرُ إِلاّ مِنْ عِندِ اللهِ إِنَّ اللهَ عَزِیزٌ حَکِیمٌ (10)

10- AND ALLAH DID THAT, ONLY, AS A GLAD- TIDING, AND TO REASSURE YOUR HEARTS BY IT, AND THERE IS NO VICTORY EXCEPT FROM ALLAH, THAT ALLAH IS MIGHTY, WISE.

إِذْ یُغَشِّیکُمُ النُّعَاسَ أَمَنَةً مِّنْهُ وَیُنَزِّلُ عَلَیْکُمْ مِّن السَّمَآءِ مَآءً لِّیُطَهِّرَکُم بِهِ وَیُذْهِبَ عَنْکُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّیْطـنِ وَلِیَرْبِطَ عَلَى قُلُوبِکُمْ وَیُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الاَْقْدَامَ (11)

11- WHEN A SLUMBER TOOK YOU OVER, AS A (TOKEN OF) HIS SECURITY, SENT DOWN ON YOU WATER FROM THE SKY TO CLEAN YOU BY IT, AND TO PURIFY YOU OF SATAN'S FILTH, AND TO STRENGTHEN YOUR HEARTS, AND TO STABILIZE YOUR STEPS.

إِذ یُوحِى رَبُّکَ إِلَى الْمَلَـئِکَةِ أَنِّى مَعَکُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوْا سَأُلْقِى فِى قُلُوبِ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُواْ الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوقَ الاَْعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ کُلَّ بَنَان (12)

12- WHEN YOUR LORD INSPIRED THE ANGELS THAT: `I AM WITH YOU, SO MAKE THE BELIEVERS STEADFAST.' SOON SHALL I CAST TERROR IN THE HEARTS OF THE UNBELIEVERS. SMITE YOU ABOVE THE NECKS (i.e. ON THEIR HEADS) AND STRIKE THEM EVERY FINGERTIP.

ذَلِکَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَآقُّواْ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَمَن یُشَاقِقِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ شَدِیدُ الْعِقَابِ (13)

13- THIS IS BECAUSE THEY DEFIED ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER; AND WHOEVER DEFIES ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER, THEN ALLAH IS STRICT IN RETRIBUTION.

ذَلِکُمْ فَذُوقُوهُ وَأَنَّ لِلْکَفِرِینَ عَذابَ النَّارِ (14)

14- THAT IS FOR YOU! SO TASTE IT. (FEEL OUR SCOURGE) AND FOR THE UNBELIEVERS, THERE IS THE TORMENT OF THE FIRE. (IN THE HELL)
