Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Allah the Exalted said: “O Prophet! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred” (__QUR_N__). In this, it was decreed that twenty Muslims should not turn their backs to two hundred. Then Allah the Exalted granted relief and said: “Now Allah has lightened [the burden] for you and He knows that there is weakness among you” (__QUR_N__). Now, it is not appropriate for one hundred Muslims to flee from two hundred.
