2. I have fought in defense and learned that Ma'di
Knows the sons of Qurayza and their uncle Qudama.
٢. لقد دافعت وقد علمت معدٌ
بني قُرظٍ وعمهم قدامة
3. I stirred them up, kneeling on their knees until
I made clear to you thereby a hundred darknesses.
٣. أجاثيهم على الركبات حتى
أثبتكم بها مائةً ظلامة
