ٱلْـَٔـٰنَ خَفَّفَ ٱللَّهُ عَنكُمْ وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ فِيكُمْ ضَعْفًا ۚ فَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُم مِّا۟ئَةٌ صَابِرَةٌ يَغْلِبُوا۟ مِا۟ئَتَيْنِ ۚ وَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُمْ أَلْفٌ يَغْلِبُوٓا۟ أَلْفَيْنِ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
Al'aana khaffafal laahu 'ankum wa 'alima anna feekum da'faa; fa-iny yakum minkum mi'atun saabiratuny yaghliboo mi'atayn; wa iny-yakum minkum alfuny yaghlibooo alfaini bi iznil laah; wallaahu ma'as saabireen
Sekarang Allah telah meringankan kepadamu dan dia telah mengetahui bahwa padamu ada kelemahan. Maka jika ada diantaramu seratus orang yang sabar, niscaya mereka dapat mengalahkan dua ratus orang; dan jika diantaramu ada seribu orang (yang sabar), niscaya mereka dapat mengalahkan dua ribu orang dengan seizin Allah. Dan Allah beserta orang-orang yang sabar.
Now God has lightened things for you, knowing that there is weakness among you. So if there are a hundred steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a thousand of you, they will overcome two thousand by God's permission. And God is with the steadfast.
The ratio set one verse earlier is revised here, ten to one becoming two to one, and the verse states the reason as a lightening granted for a weakness God knows about. Commentators cite this pair as the plainest case of one ruling replacing another within consecutive lines, though they differ over whether to call it abrogation or a concession tied to circumstance. Al-āna, "now", marks where the earlier standard stops.
