h2209

Abdullah bin Abu Aufa had written to him when he was going out to Al Haruriyyah, that the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam on several days when he met his enemy said: "O people, do not expect to meet the enemy, and ask for salvation from Allah ta'ala. When you meet them then be patient, and know that Heaven is under the shade of the sword." Then he prayed: "O Allah, Who sent down the Qur'an, Who runs the clouds, and Who overcomes groups of enemies, defeat them and win us over them!"

h2210

from 'Uqbah bin Amir Al Juhani, he said; I heard the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam reading the holy verse of the Qur'an on the pulpit which reads: "And you prepare for them the strength that you can do. Remember that the power is in shooting arrows -up to three times-."

h2211

From Abdulloh bin Mas'ud he said when the verse was revealed: "... if you spend all that is on earth you will not be able to tame between their hearts... etc. (Surah Al-Anfal: ) he said: They are people who love each other for the sake of Allah, or he says: This verse was revealed about those who love one another for the sake of Allah.

From Abdulloh bin Abbas radiallahu 'anhuma: when the verse was revealed: If there were twenty people who were patient among you, surely they would be able to defeat two hundred enemies. And if there are a hundred people who are patient among you, surely they will be able to defeat a thousand of the disbelievers ... (Al Anfal: ). So it was obligatory on them that no one ran away from ten people. Abu Sufyan repeatedly said: 'Let no one run away twenty of the two hundred.' Then the verse came down: Now Allah has made it easy for you. (Al Anfal: ). So it is obligatory not to let anyone run away as many as a hundred people out of two hundred people. Sufyan also added; a verse has been revealed; O Prophet, ignite the spirit of the believers for war. If there are twenty people who are patient among you... (Al Anfal: ). Sufyan said; and Ibn Shubrumah said; 'I see this as enjoining good and forbidding evil.'
