يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا لَقِيتُمْ فِئَةً فَٱثْبُتُوا۟ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

O you who have believed, when you encounter a company [from the enemy forces], stand firm and remember Allāh much that you may be successful.

يا أيها الذين صدَّقوا الله ورسوله وعملوا بشرعه، إذا لقيتم جماعة من أهل الكفر قد استعدوا لقتالكم، فاثبتوا ولا تنهزموا عنهم، واذكروا الله كثيرًا داعين مبتهلين لإنزال النصر عليكم والظَّفَر بعدوكم; لكي تفوزوا.
