933.7.5

At the moment when the holy warriors were heedlessly flinging away their lives, they heard a secret voice say, _Be not dismayed, neither be grieved, for, if ye believe, ye shall be exalted above the unbelievers_,[2101] and from the infallible Informer heard the joyful words, _Assistance is from God, and a speedy victory! And do thou bear glad tidings to true believers._[2102] Then they fought with such delight that the plaudits of the saints of the Holy Assembly reached them and the angels from near the Throne, fluttered round their heads like moths. Between the first and second Prayers, there was such blaze of combat that the flames thereof raised standards above the heavens, and the right and left of the army of Islām rolled back the left and right of the doomed infidels in one mass upon their centre.
