وَإِذْ
يُرِيكُمُوهُمْ
إِذِ
الْتَقَيْتُمْ
فِي
أَعْيُنِكُمْ
قَلِيلًا
وَيُقَلِّلُكُمْ
فِي
أَعْيُنِهِمْ
لِيَقْضِيَ
اللَّهُ
أَمْرًا
كَانَ
مَفْعُولًا
وَإِلَى
اللَّهِ
تُرْجَعُ
الْأُمُورُ
wa-ʾidh yurīkumūhum ʾidhi ltaqaytum fī ʾaʿyunikum qalīlan wa-yuqallilukum fī ʾaʿyunihim li-yaqḍiya llāhu ʾamran kāna mafʿūlan wa-ʾilā llāhi turjaʿu l-ʾumūru
When you met the pagans' army, God made them appear fewer in your eyes and you appear fewer in their eyes so that His miracle of granting you (an incredible) victory could easily be fulfilled. To God do all things return.
