Ayah: 13

قَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ ءَايَةٞ فِي فِئَتَيۡنِ ٱلۡتَقَتَاۖ فِئَةٞ تُقَٰتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَأُخۡرَىٰ كَافِرَةٞ يَرَوۡنَهُم مِّثۡلَيۡهِمۡ رَأۡيَ ٱلۡعَيۡنِۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُؤَيِّدُ بِنَصۡرِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةٗ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرِ

13. There was certainly a sign for you in two armies (which) met together (at the battle of Badr) - one party fighting for the Cause of Allāh, while the other is disbelieving. They 'the believers' saw them 'to be' twice their own number with the sight of the eye (while they were three times their number). But Allāh strengthens with His aid whomever He wills. There is certainly a lesson in this for those of true vision.
