As-Saf 61:4

Word by word

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَـٰنٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ

Indeed, Allāh loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.

إن الله يحب الذين يقاتلون في سبيله صفًا كأنهم بنيان متراص محكم لا ينفذ منه العدو. وفي الآية بيان فضل الجهاد والمجاهدين؛ لمحبة الله سبحانه لعباده المؤمنين إذا صفُّوا مواجهين لأعداء الله، يقاتلونهم في سبيله.
