[Prophet], remember when you left your home at dawn to assign battle positions to the believers: God hears and knows everything
122
إِذۡ هَمَّت طَّاۤىِٕفَتَانِ مِنكُمۡ أَن تَفۡشَلَا وَٱللَّهُ وَلِیُّهُمَاۗ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلۡیَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ١٢٢

Remember when two groups of you were about to lose heart and God protected them- let the believers put their trust in God
123
وَلَقَدۡ نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِبَدۡرࣲ وَأَنتُمۡ أَذِلَّةࣱۖ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ١٢٣

God helped you at Badr when you were very weak. Be mindful of God, so that you may be grateful
124
إِذۡ تَقُولُ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ أَلَن یَكۡفِیَكُمۡ أَن یُمِدَّكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِثَلَـٰثَةِ ءَالَـٰفࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةِ مُنزَلِینَ ١٢٤
idh taqūlu lil'mu'minīna alan yakfiyakum an yumiddakum rabbukum bithalāthati ālāfin mina l-malāikati munzalīn
Remember when you said to the believers, ‘Will you be satisfied if your Lord reinforces you by send-ing down three thousand angels
125
بَلَىٰۤۚ إِن تَصۡبِرُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ وَیَأۡتُوكُم مِّن فَوۡرِهِمۡ هَـٰذَا یُمۡدِدۡكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِخَمۡسَةِ ءَالَـٰفࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةِ مُسَوِّمِینَ ١٢٥
balā in taṣbirū watattaqū wayatūkum min fawrihim hādhā yum'did'kum rabbukum bikhamsati ālāfin mina l-malāikati musawwimīn
Well, if you are steadfast and mindful of God, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand swooping angels if the enemy should suddenly attack you!’ and God arranged it so
126
وَمَا جَعَلَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بُشۡرَىٰ لَكُمۡ وَلِتَطۡمَىِٕنَّ قُلُوبُكُم بِهِۦۗ وَمَا ٱلنَّصۡرُ إِلَّا مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلۡحَكِیمِ ١٢٦
wamā jaʿalahu l-lahu illā bush'rā lakum walitaṭma-inna qulūbukum bihi wamā l-naṣru illā min ʿindi l-lahi l-ʿazīzi l-ḥakīm
as a message of hope for you [believers] to put your hearts at rest- help comes only from God, the Mighty, the Wise
127
لِیَقۡطَعَ طَرَفࣰا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوۤا۟ أَوۡ یَكۡبِتَهُمۡ فَیَنقَلِبُوا۟ خَاۤىِٕبِینَ ١٢٧
liyaqṭaʿa ṭarafan mina alladhīna kafarū aw yakbitahum fayanqalibū khāibīn
and in order to cut off the flanks of the disbelievers’ army and frustrate them, to make them withdraw in total defeat
128
لَیۡسَ لَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ شَیۡءٌ أَوۡ یَتُوبَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ أَوۡ یُعَذِّبَهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ ظَـٰلِمُونَ ١٢٨
laysa laka mina l-amri shayon aw yatūba ʿalayhim aw yuʿadhibahum fa-innahum ẓālimūn
Whether God relents towards them or punishes them is not for you [Prophet] to decide: they are wrongdoers
129
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَمَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ یَغۡفِرُ لِمَن یَشَاۤءُ وَیُعَذِّبُ مَن یَشَاۤءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِیمࣱ ١٢٩
walillahi mā fī l-samāwāti wamā fī l-arḍi yaghfiru liman yashāu wayuʿadhibu man yashāu wal-lahu ghafūrun raḥīmu
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to God. He forgives whoever He will and punishes whoever He will: God is most forgiving and merciful
