24. Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred;
the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings
in which ye delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in
His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the
rebellious.

25. Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields and on the day of Hunain: Behold!
your great numbers elated you, but they availed you naught: the land, for all that it is
wide, did constrain you, and ye turned back in retreat.
