And recall what time Allah was promising you one of the two parties that it should be yours, and ye would fain to have that the one without; Whilst Allah besought arms were yours to justify the truth by His words and to cut off the root of the infidels.
و [به ياد آوريد] هنگامى را كه خدا يكى از دو دسته [كاروان تجارتى قريش يا سپاه ابوسفيان‌] را به شما وعده داد كه از آنِ شما باشد، و شما دوست داشتيد كه دسته بى‌سلاح براى شما باشد، و[لى‌] خدا مى‌خواست حق [=اسلام‌] را با كلمات خود ثابت، و كافران را ريشه‌كن كند.
