This is the sign of Allah’s righteous servants that they do not rely solely on their own efforts and war equipment, but along with that, they remember Allah with humility, seek from Him the ability to be patient and steadfast, and also pray for their victory. And this small army of Talut also earnestly supplicated to Allah in the same manner as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did on the occasion of the Battle of Badr.
