قوله تعالى ( يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا لقيتم فئة ) أي : جماعة كافرة ( فاثبتوا ) لقتالهم ، ( واذكروا الله كثيرا ) أي : ادعوا الله بالنصر والظفر بهم ، ( لعلكم تفلحون ) أي : كونوا على رجاء الفلاح .
O you who have faith in Allah and follow His Messenger, when you fight against a group of disbelievers be patient when you meet them and do not become cowardly. Remember Allah much and call on Him, because He is the One Who can help you against them; and pray to Him to grant you what you desire and protect you from what you fear.
