8:43
إِذْ
يُرِيكَهُمُ
اللَّهُ
فِي
مَنَامِكَ
قَلِيلًا
وَلَوْ
أَرَاكَهُمْ
كَثِيرًا
لَّفَشِلْتُمْ
وَلَتَنَازَعْتُمْ
فِي
الْأَمْرِ
وَلَكِنَّ
اللَّهَ
سَلَّمَ
إِنَّهُ
عَلِيمٌ
بِذَاتِ
الصُّدُورِ
ʾidh yurīkahumu llāhu fī manāmika qalīlan wa-law ʾarākahum kathīran la-fashiltum wa-la-tanāzaʿtum fī l-ʾamri wa-lākinna llāha sallama ʾinnahū ʿalīmun bi-dhāti ṣ-ṣudūri
In your dream, God showed (the pagans' army) as being only a few in number, for if He had showed them as a great number, you would have lost courage and would have started to quarrel among yourselves concerning this matter. But God saved you from that condition; He knows what is in your hearts.
