When thou didst say to the believers, ‘Will it not suffice you that your Lord should help you with three thousand angels sent down from on high?’
اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
جب تو مومنوں سے یہ کہہ رہا تھا کہ کیا تمہارے لئے کافی نہیں ہوگا کہ تمہارا ربّ تین ہزار اتارے جانے والے فرشتوں سے تمہاری مدد کرے؟
French
Quand tu disais aux croyants : « Ne vous suffira-t-il pas que votre Seigneur vous vienne en aide en faisant descendre trois mille anges des cieux ?
German
Wie du zu den Gläubigen sprachst: "Genügt es euch nicht, dass euer Herr euch mit dreitausend (vom Himmel) herabgesandten Engeln zu Hilfe kommt?"
Chinese
(也当追忆那个时候,) 当你对信仰者说: “你们的养主以下降的三千天使援助你们, 这还不够吗?”
Italian
Quando dicesti ai credenti: «Non vi basterà che il vostro Signore vi aiuti con tremila angeli fatti scendere dall'alto?»
Spanish
Cuando dijiste a los creyentes: “¿No será suficiente para nosotros on que vuestro Señor os ayude con tres mil ángeles enviados desde lo alto?”.
اردو تفسیرِ صغیر
(اس وقت کو بھی یاد کر) جب تو مومنوں سے کہہ رہا تھا کہ کیا تمہارے لئے یہ (بات) کافی نہ ہوگی کہ تمہارا رب (آسمان سے) نازل کئے ہوئے تین ہزار فرشتوں کے ذریعہ سے تمہاری مدد کرے۔
English - Short Commentary Translation
When thou didst say to the believers, ‘Will it not suffice you that your Lord should help you with three thousand angels sent down from on high?’
As mistakenly understood these words do not refer to the Battle of Badr which has been mentioned in the preceding verse only incidentally in order to cite an illustration of how God helped the steadfast Muslims in time of danger. The number of angels sent at the Battle of Badr was, according to 8:10, one thousand as the number of the enemy was then one thousand. In the Battle of Uhud the number of the enemy was 3,000, so the Muslims were also promised the help of 3,000 angels. The fulfilment of the present promise is referred to in 3:153.

When thou didst say to the believers, ‘Will it not suffice you that your Lord should help you with three thousand angels sent down from on high?’
Commentary:
The verse means that if the Meccans made another attack upon Muslims sometime after Uhud, God would help the latter by sending down a force of three thousand angels. It is a mistake to think that these words refer to the Battle of Badr which has been mentioned in the preceding verse only incidentally in order to cite an illustration of how God helped steadfast Muslims in times of danger. Moreover, the number of angels sent at the Battle of Badr was, according to 8:10, one thousand and not three thousand, as here stated. The fulfilment of the present promise is referred to in 3:152 below.
