Surah Al Baqarah Tafseer

Allah further tells;

وَلَمَّا بَرَزُواْ لِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِ

And when they advanced to meet Jalut (Goliath) and his forces,

When the faithful party, who were few under the command of Talut, faced their enemy, who were many under the command of Jalut,

قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا

they invoked:"Our Lord! Pour forth on us patience...,"

meaning, send down patience on us from You.

وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا

and set firm our feet,

meaning, against the enemy and save us from running away and from feebleness,

وَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

and make us victorious over the disbelieving people.)

Allah said
