ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلْغَمِّ أَمَنَةًنُّعَاسًا يَغْشَىٰ طَآئِفَةً مِّنكُمْ 154a. |

154a. Then after the setback, He sent down security upon
you. Slumber overcame some of you, |
There is a mention about another favor of God upon the Muslims in this verse. That is to say; they were martyred in whose portion there was good fortune of martyrdom. The persons, who had to go, they had gone and the people from them, who were sincere Muslims and remained in the battlefield, form of slumber overcame them. The people began to slumber in the standing position. The sword fell down from the hand of Tal-ha (May God be pleased with him) many times. It was hidden and apparent affect of peace and calmness, which was approaching upon the hearts of the Muslims during such incident causing great riot with the Bounty of God. After this slumbering state, entire fear and confusion of the enemies was removed from their hearts. This condition of slumbering happened at such very time, when the Conquerors of Islam were very tired because of their wounds. Rumors concerning martyrdom of Messenger (ﷺ) had lost their senses and understanding.
Yagshaa - (overcame). The word gishaawah has come out from the same, which means a screen, a curtain, a veil. Here it aims that God took them in the fold of slumber. After prevailing of the slumber over the Muslims, God removed their entire weariness and tiredness, and informed them that the time of fear, perplexity and disappointment had been over. Now you are entirely in peace. Perform your duty with full satisfaction.
The Companions (May God be pleased with them) assembled around the Messenger of God (ﷺ) and established the front for war. They observed very soon that the enemy was running away; leaving behind the battlefield. Abdullah ibn Mas-‘uud (May God be pleased with him) says, “Overshadowing of the slumber in the very nick of time in the battle was a sign of victory and success from the favors of God”.
It was Bounty of God that He provided security and peace after coming of the narrowness, gave victory while certain defeat was ahead, removed the possibility of subjection and refreshed the Muslims by removing their exhaustion, so that they may bruise the enemies of the Just after getting new spirit. In addition, He inspired with awe of Islam and fear of the Right in the hearts of the Idolaters. It was the reason that the enemies could not face the situation while they had overcome.
If the Believers remain steadfast
in their faith and confidence, show steadiness and patience, then; help and
victory from God remains with
them always and the enemies of Truth return back on their heels falling short.
Actual power and strength in the battlefield of crusade (Jihad) is
satisfaction of the hearts and exaltation of the aim and spirit.
