Verse (8:19)

The analysis above refers to the nineteenth verse of chapter 8 (sūrat l-anfāl):

Sahih International: If you [disbelievers] seek the victory - the defeat has come to you. And if you desist [from hostilities], it is best for you; but if you return [to war], We will return, and never will you be availed by your [large] company at all, even if it should increase; and [that is] because Allah is with the believers.
