Those who cannot even hold onto their own scarf,
How will they hold anyone else’s heart?
When Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was thrown into the fire, and when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) faced the gathering of the disbelievers for a renewed attack after Uhud, they said: «حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيْلُ » [ آل عمران : ۱۷۳ ]. [بخاری، التفسیر، سورۃ آل عمران : ۴۵۶۳ ] The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not say that Allah and my companions are sufficient for me. Allah Himself commanded you: «فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ » [ التوبۃ : ۱۲۹ ] “Then if they turn away, say: Allah is sufficient for me, there is no deity except Him, I have put my trust in Him, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.” Rather, Allah said: «اِنْ يَّنْصُرْكُمُ اللّٰهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَ اِنْ يَّخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِيْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ » [ آل عمران : ۱۶۰ ] “If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; but if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And upon Allah alone should the believers rely.”

[66] This verse can have two meanings. One is that Allah is sufficient for you, and also for those believers who follow you. The second meaning is that Allah and this group of Muslims who follow you are sufficient for you, no matter how few their numbers may be. In other words, this is a summary of the previous verse: ﴿هُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَيَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهٖ وَبِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ﴾.
