Translation of the meanings Ayah: (6) Surah: Al-Isrā’
ثُمَّ رَدَدۡنَا لَكُمُ ٱلۡكَرَّةَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَأَمۡدَدۡنَٰكُم بِأَمۡوَٰلٖ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ أَكۡثَرَ نَفِيرًا
(6) “Then We would make the turn ˹of fortune˺ for you over them[3500]; We would supply you with money and children, and make you of greater summoning![3501]”
[3500] This turn of fortune happens after self-appraisal, sincere repentance and mending of their ways (cf. Ibn al-Jawzī, al-Qurṭubī, al-Nasafī).
[3501] Akthara nafīran, that is you mobilize more soldiers in war than your enemy (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, al-Saʿdī). Originally, it means those who rally (yanfuru) with a person, his clan and kith and kin (cf. Ibn Qutaybah, Gharīb al-Qur’ān, p. 23; al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt).
