Al-Anfal
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
[15] O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them.
[16] If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own) - he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell, an Evil refuge (indeed)!
[17] It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah's: in order that He might test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).
[18] That, and also because Allah is He Who makes feeble the Plans and stratagems of the Unbelievers.
