Commentary
When the hypocrites in the city and those in whose hearts is a disease say, it may be from the description of the hypocrites, and it may refer to those who are on the edge and are not firm in their faith in Islam. And according to Al-Hasan: they are the polytheists. These people are deceived by their religion, meaning that the Muslims were deceived by their religion and that they gain strength from it and support it. So they went out, being three hundred and a few more, against about a thousand. Then he said in response to them, 'And whoever relies upon Allah, then indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might, Wise.' He empowers the weak few over the strong many.
