| And Allah drove back those who disbelieved in their rage: they gained no advantage | means, they did not have to fight them in order to expel them from their land, but Allah Alone sufficed them and helped His servant and granted victory to His troops |

| This was reported from a Hadith of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him | They were a mixture of tribes and parties with a variety of opinions, so it was befitting that a wind should be sent against them that would scatter them and break up their gathering, driving them back disappointed and lost in their hatred and enmity |
| This Ayah indicates that there would be a cessation of war between them and Quraysh; after this, the idolators did not attack the Muslims, on the contrary, the Muslims attacked them in their own land | Allah sufficed for the believers in the fighting |

| Allah sufficed for the believers in the fighting | 8:33 So, Allah sent them a wind which dispersed them after they had gathered on the basis of their whims |
They did not achieve any worldly good such as the victory and booty that they had hoped for, nor did they achieve any good in the Hereafter, because of their sin of declaring enmity against the Messenger and seeking to kill him and destroy his army.
