The Holy Quran 38:11 — Surah Sad

Arabic text

جُندٌ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُومٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ

Translation

Here (from among these Kuffaar of Makkah), there is an army of people who are from the defeated armies (of the past). (Subsequently, the Kuffaar of Makkah were defeated at the Battle of Badr.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The disbelievers are a defeated host: that is, they are nothing at all. How could these poor wretches be the owners of the dominion and treasuries of the earth and the heavens? They are merely a crowd of a few people doomed to defeat, who appear set to be ruined and destroyed like the earlier nations that were destroyed.
