" but those who were convinced
that they must meet Allah, said: "How oft, by Allah's will, Hath a
small force vanquished a big one? Allah is with those who steadfastly
persevere."
P: And when Saul set out with the army, he said: Lo! Allah will try you
by (the ordeal of) a river. Whosoever therefore drinketh thereof he is
not of me, and whosoever tasteth it not he is of me, save him who
taketh (thereof) in the hollow of his hand. But they drank thereof, all
save a few of them. And after he had crossed (the river), he and those
who believed with him, they said: We have no power this day against
Goliath and his hosts. But those who knew that they would meet Allah
exclaimed: How many a little company hath overcome a mighty host by
Allah's leave! Allah is with the steadfast.
S: So when Talut departed with the forces, he said: Surely Allah will
try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he is not of me, and
whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me, except he who takes
with his hand as much of it as fills the hand; but with the exception
of a few of them they drank from it. So when he had crossed it, he and
those who believed with him, they said: We have today no power against
Jalut and his forces. Those who were sure that they would meet their
Lord said: How often has a small party vanquished a numerous host by
Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient.
