8:65
يَا أَيُّهَا
النَّبِيُّ
حَرِّضِ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
عَلَى
الْقِتَالِ
إِن
يَكُن
مِّنكُمْ
عِشْرُونَ
صَابِرُونَ
يَغْلِبُوا
مِائَتَيْنِ
وَإِن
يَكُن
مِّنكُم
مِّائَةٌ
يَغْلِبُوا
أَلْفًا
مِّنَ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
بِأَنَّهُمْ
قَوْمٌ
لَّا
يَفْقَهُونَ

Prophet, mobilize the believers for the battle. It will take only twenty of your men who are steadfast (in prayer) to defeat two hundred unbelieving men. Your two hundred men would defeat their two thousand; the unbelievers have no understanding.
