Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And obey Allah and His messenger) in the matter of war, (and dispute not one with another) regarding war (lest ye falter) lest fear strikes you (and your strength depart from you) i.e. you are defeated; (but be steadfast!) in war along with your Prophet (Lo! Allah is with the steadfast) He helps the steadfast in war.
