Lo! God showed them to thee in a dream as few:⁴⁷ for, had He shown them to you as many, you would surely have lost heart, and would surely have disagreed with one another about what to do.⁴⁸ But God saved [you from this]: verily, He has full knowledge of what is the hearts [of men].

- Mohammad Asad

Also remember that Allah made them appear in your dream as few in number; if He had shown them to you as many in number, you would surely have been discouraged and you would have disputed in your decision. But Allah saved you; surely He knows the very secrets of the hearts.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

'Remember, O Prophet,' when Allah showed them in your dream as few in number. Had He shown them to you as many, you 'believers' would have certainly faltered and disputed in the matter. But Allah spared you 'from that'. Surely He knows best what is 'hidden' in the heart.

- Mustafa Khattab

When Allah showed them unto thee (O Muhammad) in thy dream as few in number, and if He had shown them to thee as many, ye (Muslims) would have faltered and would have quarrelled over the affair. But Allah saved (you). Lo! He knoweth what is in the breasts (of men).

- Marmaduke Pickthall

Remember in thy dream Allah showed them to thee as few: if He had shown them to thee as many ye would surely have been discouraged and ye would surely have disputed in (your) decision: but Allah saved (you): for He knoweth well the (secrets) of (all) hearts.
