ٱلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۚ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَسِيرًا
6:74; 22:57.
6:74; 22:57.
The day of Badr was indeed a most distressful day for disbelievers. It was on that day that the foundations of Islam were firmly laid and the Quraish had realised to their bitter mortification and discomfiture that it had come to stay.
6:74; 22:57.
Important Words:
عسیرا (hard) is derived from عسر which means, it was or became difficult, hard, hard to be borne or endured, hard to be done. حاجة عسیرة means, a want difficult of attainment. یوم عسیر means, a day of difficulties; a hard, distressful or calamitous day; an unfortunate or unlucky day (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The day of Badr was indeed a most distressful day for disbelievers. It was on that day that the foundations of Islam were firmly laid and the Quraish had realized to their bitter mortification and discomfiture that it had come to stay. They had not the faintest idea that a small band of only 313 men, without adequate arms, ammunition or implements of war, will inflict a most crushing defeat on them and "the glory of Kedar will depart forever". It was on the battlefield of Badr that the great fighters and leaders of the Quraish were killed. That battle has therefore rightly been called one of the greatest battles in history. In that battle the fate of Islam—in fact, the fate of humanity itself—hung in the balance and the victory of Islam was the triumph of humanity.

مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى ٱلدَّاعِ ۖ يَقُولُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ
14:44; 36:52.
This and the preceding two verses give a graphic picture of the utter confusion, consternation and bewilderment of the Quraish when they saw the Summoner—the Holy Prophet—whom they had driven out of Mecca and upon whose head they had laid a price only a few years earlier—at the very gates of their capital city.

The mighty prophecy embodied in these verses was made at a time when the fate of Islam itself was hanging in the balance and, humanly speaking, there was not the remotest possibility of its being fulfilled.

这一节及以上两节经文生动地描述了古莱西人再见穆圣时的慌乱、惊愕及迷惑的情景。还不过是数年前, 他们将号召者穆圣赶出麦加, 且悬赏缉拿他, 现在他竟然赫然出现在他们首府的城门口。
