یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ عَلَی الْقِتَالِ ؕ اِنْ یَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ عِشْرُوْنَ صٰبِرُوْنَ یَغْلِبُوْا مِائَتَیْنِ ۚ وَاِنْ یَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ مِّائَةٌ یَّغْلِبُوْۤا اَلْفًا مِّنَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا یَفْقَهُوْنَ ۟

Saheeh International

O Prophet, urge the believers to battle. If there are among you twenty [who are] steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you one hundred [who are steadfast], they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand.

Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir

O Prophet, urge the believers on to fight and encourage them to do so with words that will strengthen their determination and lift their spirits. If there are among you, O believers, twenty who are patient in fighting against the disbelievers, they will overcome two hundred of the disbelievers. And if there are among you one hundred who are patient, they will overcome one thousand of the disbelievers. That is because the disbelievers are a people who do not understand Allah’s custom of aiding His friends and defeating His enemies. They do not realise the goal of fighting and they therefore only fight in order to gain supremacy in the world.
