Tafsir
O you who believe! Remember God’s favour to you when hosts of disbelievers came against you as confederates at the time the Ditch al-khandaq was being dug and We unleashed against them a great wind and hosts of angels you did not see. And God is ever Seer of what you do read ta‘malūna to imply ‘in the way of your digging of the ditch’; or read ya‘malūna ‘of what they do’ to imply ‘the idolaters’ forming of a confederation’.

(O ye who believe Remember Allah's favour unto you) preserve Allah's favour in that He repelled the enemy from you by sending the east wind and angels (when there came against you hosts) the host of disbelievers, (and We sent against them a great wind) the east wind (and hosts) and a row of angels (you could not see. And Allah is ever Seer of what ye do) whether it is the digging of the trench or other things.
