Al-Anfal 8:46

Word by word

وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَا تَنَـٰزَعُوا۟ فَتَفْشَلُوا۟ وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ ۖ وَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

And obey Allāh and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allāh is with the patient.

والتزموا طاعة الله وطاعة رسوله في كل أحوالكم، ولا تختلفوا فتتفرق كلمتكم وتختلف قلوبكم، فتضعفوا وتذهب قوتكم ونصركم، واصبروا عند لقاء العدو. إن الله مع الصابرين بالعون والنصر والتأييد، ولن يخذلهم.
