بَلِ السَّاعَۃُ مَوۡعِدُہُمۡ وَالسَّاعَۃُ اَدۡہٰی وَاَمَرُّ
Important Words:
أدھٰی (most calamitous) is derived from دھٰی. They say مادھاک i.e. what has befallen thee. The Arabs say دھته داھیة i.e. acalamity befell him. أدھٰی means, more or most calamitous (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The defeat at Badr was indeed a most formidable and calamitous misfortune for the Quraish. Their power and prestige sustained a crushing blow. Most of their leaders and prominent chiefs were killed. Having suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a handful of inexperienced and ill-equipped Muslims, they felt deeply humiliated and mortified. The prophecy was fulfilled to the very letter.
The الساعة (Hour) mentioned in this and the opening verse of the Surah refers to the Battle of Badr.
