(Then have patience) O Muhammad in the face of the harm of the Jews, Christians and idolaters. (Lo! the promise of Allah) to help you and destroy them (is true) will happen. (And ask forgiveness of thy sin) for failing to thank duly the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon you and your Companions, (and hymn the praise of your Lord) and pray by the command of your Lord (at fall of night and in the early hours) in the evening and morning.
