EnglishSaheeh International
[Remember, O Muḥammad], when Allāh showed them to you in your dream as few; and if He had shown them to you as many, you [believers] would have lost courage and would have disputed in the matter [of whether to fight], but Allāh saved [you from that]. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

(நபியே!) உம் கனவில் அவர்களை(த் தொகையில்) உமக்குக் குறைவாகக் காண்பித்ததையும், அவர்களை உமக்கு அதிகமாகக் காண்பித்திருந்தால், நீங்கள் தைரியம் இறந்து (போர் நடத்தும்) காரியத்தில் நீங்கள் (ஒருவருக்கொருவர் பிணங்கித்)தர்க்கம் செய்து கொண்டிருந்திருப்பீர்கள் என்பதையும் நினைவு கூறுவீராக! எனினும் (அப்படி நடந்துவிடாமல் உங்களை) அல்லாஹ் காப்பாற்றினான்; நிச்சயமாக அவன் உள்ளங்களில் உள்ளவற்றை அறிபவன்.

(නබිවරය!) නුඹේ සිහිනයෙහි නුඹට ඔවුන්ව ස්වල්ප දෙනෙකු වශයෙන් අල්ලාහ් පෙන්වූ අවස්ථාව සිහිපත් කරනු. තවද ඔවුන්ව අධික වශයෙන් ඔහු නුඹට පෙන්වා තිබුණේ නම් නුඹලා අධෛර්යයට පත් වනු ඇත. තවද නුඹලා එම විෂයයෙහි මත ගැටුම් ඇති කර ගනු ඇත. එනමුත් අල්ලාහ් ආරක්ෂා කළේ ය. නියත වශයෙන් ම ඔහු හදවත් සතු දෑ පිළිබඳව සර්ව ඥානී ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
جب کہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے تجھے تیرے خواب میں ان کی تعداد کم دکھائی، اگر ان کی زیادتی دکھاتا تو تم بزدل ہو جاتے اور اس کام کے بارے میں آپس میں اختلاف کرتے لیکن اللہ تعالیٰ نے بچا لیا، وه دلوں کے بھیدوں سے خوب آگاه ہے۔

アッラーがあなた(ムハンマド)に,夢でかれら(敵軍)が少数のように見せられた時を思え。もしかれがあなたに対し,かれら(敵軍)を多勢に見せられたならば,あなたがた(信徒) はきっと臆して(あなたの)決定に対し,きっと互いに論争したであろう。だがアッラーは(あなたがたを)救われた。本当にかれは(人びとの)胸の中で考えていることを熟知される。

当时真主使你在梦中看见敌人是少数的;假若他使你看见他们是多数的,你们必定胆怯,必定为战争而争论,但真主使你们得免于此。他确是全知心事的。

Tafsir of 8:43

Allah made each Group look few in the Eye of the Other Mujahid said, "In a dream, Allah showed the Prophet the enemy as few. The Prophet conveyed this news to his Companions and their resolve strengthened." Similar was said by Ibn Ishaq and several others. Allah said, وَلَوْ أَرَاكَهُمْ كَثِيراً لَّفَشِلْتُمْ (If He had shown them to you as many, you would surely, have been discouraged,) you would have cowardly abstained from meeting them and fell in dispute among yourselves, وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ سَلَّمَ (But Allah saved), from all this, when He made you see them as few, إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ (Certainly, He is the All-Knower of that is in the breasts.) 8:43. Allah knows what the heart and the inner-self conceal, يَعْلَمُ خَآئِنَةَ الاٌّعْيُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِى الصُّدُورُ (Allah knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal) 40:19. Allah's statement, وَإِذْ يُرِيكُمُوهُمْ إِذِ الْتَقَيْتُمْ فِى أَعْيُنِكُمْ قَلِيلاً (And (remember) when you met, He showed them to you as few in your eyes) demonstrates Allah's compassion towards the believers. Allah made them see few disbelievers in their eyes, so that they would be encouraged and feel eager to meet them.…
