Within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allâh, (before the defeat of the Romans by the Persians, and after the defeat of the Persians by the Romans). And on that Day, the believers (i.e. Muslims) will rejoice (at the victory given by Allâh to the Romans against the Persians) -
فِى Within
بِضْعِ biḍ'ʿi a few

يَفْرَحُ yafraḥu will rejoice
ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ l-mu'minūna the believers
