إِذْ أَنتُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْیَا وَهُم بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوَى وَالرَّکْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنکُمْ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَدتُّمْ لاَخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِى الْمِیعَـدِ وَلَـکِن لِّیَقْضِىَ اللهُ أَمْراً کَانَ مَفْعُولا لِّیَهْلِکَ مَنْ هَلَکَ عَن بَیِّنَة وَیَحْیَى مَنْ حَىَّ عَن بَیِّنَة وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَسَمِیعٌ عَلِیمٌ (42)

42- WHEN YOU WERE ON THE LOWER SIDE, AND THEY WERE ON THE UPPER SIDE, AND THE CAVALRY (OF THE PAGANS) BELOW (BOTH OF THE HOSTS). AND IF YOU HAD MADE AN APPOINTMENT, YOU WOULD HAVE DIFFERED ON WHERE TO MEET. BUT (YOU MET THUS) THAT ALLAH MIGHT ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH HAD TO BE DONE, SO THAT HE WHO PERISHED MIGHT PERISH BY EVIDENCE, AND HE WHO LIVED MIGHT LIVE BY EVIDENCE THAT ALLAH IS ALL- HEARING, ALL- KNOWING.

إِذْ یُرِیکَهُمُ اللهُ فِى مَنَامِکَ قَلِیلا وَلَوْ أَرَْکَهُمْ کَثِیراً لَّفَشِلْتُمْ وَلَتَنَـزَعْتُمْ فِى الاَْمْرِ وَلَـکِنَّ اللهَ سَلَّمَ إِنَّهُ عَلِیمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ (43)

43- WHEN ALLAH SHOWED THEM TO YOU IN YOUR DREAM AS FEW, AND IF HE HAD SHOWED THEM TO YOU TOO MANY, YOU WOULD BE DISCOURAGED, AND YOU WOULD LOSE CONCORD ABOUT THE MATTER; BUT ALLAH AFFORDED SAFETY, THAT HE KNOWS WHAT THE CHESTS OWN. (HE KNOWS THE CONTENTS OF THE HEARTS)

وَإِذْ یُرِیکُمُوهُمْ إِذِ الْتَقَیْتُمْ فِى أَعْیُنِکُمْ قَلِیلا وَیُقَلِّلُکُمْ فِى أَعْیُنِهِمْ لِیَقْضِىَ اللهُ أَمْراً کَانَ مَفْعُولا وَإِلَى اللهِ تُرْجَعُ الاُْمُورُ (44)

44- AND WHEN YOU ENCOUNTERED; HE SHOWED THEM TO YOU A FEW IN YOUR EYES, AND MADE YOU TO APPEAR A FEW IN THEIR EYES (ALLAH MADE EACH HOST APPEAR TO THE OTHER FEW IN NUMBER) THAT ALLAH MIGHT ORDER A MATTER THAT HAD TO BE DONE; AND TO ALLAH IS REFERRED ALL THE AFFAIRS.
