Those who pray steadfastly, and spend of that which We have provided them, (3)

those are, in truth, the believers. They shall have degrees with their Lord and forgiveness, and a generous provision. (4)

It is like when your Lord caused you to leave your home with the truth, though some of the believers disliked it. (5)

They argued with you about the truth after it had been made clear, as though they were being led to certain death while looking. (6)

(Remember) when Allah promised to grant you one of the two parties (at Badr), and you wished for the one that was not strong. Allah wanted to establish the truth by His Words and to sever the unbelievers to the last, (7)

in order that He might verify the truth and annul the falsehood, even though the wrongdoers hated it. (8)

And when you (Prophet Muhammad) prayed to your Lord for help, He answered: 'I am sending to your aid a thousand angels in succession. ' (9)

Allah only made it to be glad tidings and so that your hearts may be satisfied; victory comes only from Allah; He is Almighty, Wise. (10)

When you were overcome by sleep, as security from Him, He sent down water from the sky to cleanse you and to purify you of satan's filth, to strengthen your hearts and to steady your footsteps. (11)

And when Allah revealed to the angels, saying: 'I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. Strike them above the necks, smite their finger tips. ' (12)
