English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
The hosts shall soon be routed and will turn their backs in flight.
English - Five Volume Translation
The hosts shall soon be routed and will turn their backs in flight.
Commentary:
The emphatic prophecy embodied in the verse is definitely about the crushing defeat which the Meccan army suffered at the hands of Muslims in the Battle of Badr. The odds were so heavy against the Muslims that when fighting began the Holy Prophet prayed to God in utmost humility and extreme agony, in a tent set up for him for this purpose, in the words: "O Lord, I humbly beseech Thee to fulfil Thy covenant and Thy promise. If this small band of Muslims were destroyed, Thou wilt never be worshipped again on this earth" (Bukhari & Muslim). After having finished the prayer, the Holy Prophet came out of the tent and facing the field of battle recited the verse سیھزم الجمع و یولون الدبر i.e. the hosts shall soon be routed and shall turn their backs in flight.
