How many times has a small party vanquished a bigger party, how many groups of few have defeated a group of many
This is the title of an infographic at 333:12 with the sub-headline “Battles in which the Muslims were Victorious” (معارك انتصر فيها المسلمون) . The title is taken from the final part of Quran 2:249:
قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلاَقُو اللّهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ وَاللّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
Those who were sure that they would meet their Lord said: “How often has a small party vanquished a bigger party by Allah’s Leave”. And Allah is with the patient.
