سُوْرَةُ الْاَحْزَابِ
Surah Al-Ahzaab (33) — Ayah 25
وَرَدَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِغَيْظِهِمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوا۟ خَيْرًا ۚ وَكَفَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلْقِتَالَ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًا ﴿25﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And Allâh drove back those who disbelieved in their rage: they gained no advantage (booty). Allâh sufficed for the believers in the fighting (by sending against the disbelievers a severe wind and troops of angels). And Allâh is Ever All-Strong, All-Mighty.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
25-1 That is, the polytheists who had gathered from different directions to wipe out the Muslims. Allah sent them back along with His wrath and anger. They did not get any worldly wealth or possessions, nor will they be deserving of any reward in the Hereafter; they did not attain any kind of good.
25-2 That is, the Muslims did not even need to fight them, rather Allah provided help to His believing servants through wind and angels. That is why the Prophet ﷺ said (لَا اِلَہَ اَلَّا للّٰہُ وَحْدَہُ ، صَدَقَ وَعْدَۃُ ، نَصَرَ عَبْدَہُ ، وَ اَعَزَّ جُنْدَہُ ، وَحَزَمَ الاَّحْزَابَ وَحْدَہَ ، فَلَا شَیْءٍ بَعْدَ ہُ) (Sahih Bukhari) "There is no deity except Allah alone, He fulfilled His promise, helped His servant, granted victory to His army, and He alone defeated all the groups, and there is nothing after Him." This supplication should be recited upon returning from Hajj, Umrah, Jihad, and travel.
