They were its result; for when it is known that the entire matter is for Him and there is no effect of fewness or abundance, it bears fruit for one who is in the lowest degrees of faith, let alone others, with little concern for the oppressors even if their power exceeds the limit, and they increase in number.

"When you meet" means: when you fight, for meeting is a term commonly used for fighting. "A group" means: a faction deserving of fighting, as their description by faith suffices for that. "So be steadfast" means: in meeting them by fighting them as you were steadfast at Badr, and do not let yourselves think of fleeing. "And remember Allah" means: He to whom belongs all perfection, for everything that is sought is found with Him. "Much" means: as you did there; for that is a sign of sincerity in relying solely on Him, and that is a cause for victory without a doubt, as in the sacred hadith: "Indeed, My servant, all My servants, is for the one who remembers Me at the meeting of his kind.

He said: "That you may succeed" means: so that you may have hope for success, which is attaining what is desired from victory and reward, just as you were at that time.
