8.44

وَ اِذْ یُرِیْكُمُوْهُمْ اِذِ الْتَقَیْتُمْ فِیْۤ اَعْیُنِكُمْ قَلِیْلًا وَّ یُقَلِّلُكُمْ فِیْۤ اَعْیُنِهِمْ لِیَقْضِیَ اللّٰهُ اَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُوْلًاؕ-وَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ۠ (44)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And ˹O Muslims, remember˺ when Allah was showing them to you as few in your eyes when you met in battle, and made you appear few in their eyes[1] so that He may complete the matter that was to occur[2]—and all matters return to Allah.

Commentary

[1]

The wisdom of making the polytheists appear less in number was to express the truthfulness of the Prophet’s dream and strengthen the resolve of the Muslims. The wisdom of making the Muslims appear less in number was to ensure that the polytheists remain eager to battle and do not flee from combat. This happened at the beginning as during the battle, Muslims seemed to be in great numbers from the perspective of the polytheists.

[2]

This refers to the predominance of Islam, victory of the Muslims, refutation of polytheism, humiliation of the polytheists, and the manifestation of the Prophetic Miracle as that which was stated occurred; a small group defeated a large army.
