لَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللّٰهُ ف۪ي مَوَاطِنَ كَث۪يرَةٍۙ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍۙ اِذْ اَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَـثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنْكُمْ شَيْـٔاً وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُمْ مُدْبِر۪ينَۚ

God has helped you in many places — and on the day of Ḥunayn when you were impressed at your multitude, but it availed you nothing, and the earth was straitened for you, vast as it was; then you turned and fled.
