Commentary
It was discussed in the
previous verse that the help of Angels (peace be upon Them) was a good and
great tidings for the Muslims. It was cause of satisfaction of their hearts. It
is that particular form of help which has been specified only for the
Believers. However, help of every kind is from Allah Almighty because He has
entire Powers and Perfect Awareness regarding the forms and occasions of the
help.
Those forms of help have been
described in this verse; with which; the Muslims were helped in the Battle
of Badr. In fact, this battle was an occasion of very severe trial
of them. They were three hundred and thirteen only whereas the enemies were
nearly nine hundred and fifty in numbers. They were unarmed, while the infidels
were armed heavily. They came out for the purpose that they would sack the
caravan of the merchants, but the battle fell on their heads suddenly. The Army
of enemy had possessed best place for fighting beforehand. Battle field was
sandy and the feet had been penetrating into it. They were confused due to
clouds of dust, scarcity of water for drinking as well as for washing and
taking necessary bath. Certainly, their hearts were very upset due to the
reasons mentioned above and they had been looking certain defeat ahead.
Allah Almighty removed their
entire difficulties. It rained heavily. The sand congealed and then there was
water in sufficient quantity for their drinking, ablution and taking bath. They
became able to move easily in the battle field due to congealment of the sand.
When they were contented, Allah Almighty made the slumber fall upon them and
then; their hearts were fresh and satisfied. Fear and confusion scampered off
and in addition, the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) caused them to hear the good tidings regarding the help of
Angels (peace be upon Them). Then every Believer was gay and jolly. Those
matters have been reminded in this verse.
It is commanded: Remember that time; when Allah Almighty made
the slumber fall upon you and produced satisfaction in your hearts. He sent
down water from the sky so that you might be purified by making ablution,
taking bath and quenching your thirst with water, remaining away from the
devilish temptations and strengthening your hearts by congealing the sand so
that you might stand firmly.
