وَاذْكُرُوا
إِذْ
أَنتُمْ
قَلِيلٌ
مُّسْتَضْعَفُونَ
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
تَخَافُونَ
أَن
يَتَخَطَّفَكُمُ
النَّاسُ
فَآوَاكُمْ
وَأَيَّدَكُم
بِنَصْرِهِ
وَرَزَقَكُم
مِّنَ
الطَّيِّبَاتِ
لَعَلَّكُمْ
تَشْكُرُونَ
wa-dhkurū ʾidh ʾantum qalīlun mustaḍʿafūna fī l-ʾarḍi takhāfūna ʾan yatakhaṭṭafakumu n-nāsu fa-ʾāwākum wa-ʾayyadakum bi-naṣrihī wa-razaqakum mina ṭ-ṭayyibāti laʿallakum tashkurūna
Call to mind when ye were a small (band), despised through the land, and afraid that men might despoil and kidnap you; But He provided a safe asylum for you, strengthened you with His aid, and gave you Good things for sustenance: that ye might be grateful.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Remember when you were few, abased in the land, and feared lest the people should despoil you, and He gave you refuge, and strengthened you with His help, and provided you with all the good things so that you may give thanks.
