Allah promised the Muslims victory and His promise was fulfilled on the Day of Badr, "(Remember) when Allah promised to grant you one of the two parties (at Badr), and you wished for the one that was not strong" (8:7).
Allah told His Prophet "We suffice you against those who mock" (15.95). After the revelation of this verse, the Prophet gave his Companions the good news that Allah suffices both him and them.
Those who are referred to as being the "mockers" were a group of people in Mecca who attempted to cause people to turn away from the Prophet and cause him harm. They were dispersed. Also, when the unbelievers tried to kill Prophet Muhammad Allah sent down the verse, "Allah protects you from the people" (5:67).
The Miraculous News of Bygone Generations and Vanished Nations Mentioned in the Koran
Another facet of mankind's inability to imitate the Koran is found in information relating to bygone generations, as well as nations that had vanished, and their laws. At the time of the sending down of the Koran there were amongst all the "People of the Book" – that is people who received the Torah and the Ingil (Gospel of Jesus) – just a few scholars who devoted their entire life to the study of some of these aspects, there were others however, who were not so well versed and their knowledge was incomplete.
When Allah sent down to His Prophet unadulterated stories of such matters, it was a sign for the People of the Book.

Also the Prophet did not travel far away from his people so he could not have heard these stories. (Shaykh Darwish added: They had no other option but to admit that the news the Prophet brought came from the Unseen and thereby compelled to admit to its authenticity, and acknowledge its truthfulness but many refused to openly admit to this.)
Whenever some among the parties of the People of the Book met him they would examine and test his knowledge whereupon he would recite to them relevant verses or chapters from the Koran. He recited to them of the stories of Prophet Moses and Al Khidr, of Prophet Joseph and his brothers, the men in the Cave, Dhu'l Karnain (King Cyrus, the Great of Persia died 600BC, Kurosh-e-Bozorg Persian name. Biblical name Koresh), Luqman and his son as well as stories of other noble prophets. He related information about the creation, and informed them of what was in the Torah and the original Gospel given to Jesus (which no longer exists). He also told them of the Psalms of Prophet David and the Scrolls of Prophets Abraham and Moses. The sincere amongst them acknowledged and confirmed the truth of the news he brought as they were unable to deny it. Those who were destined for the
