هل يكفي العدد الكبير ليضمن النجاح؟
في حنين أعجب بعض المسلمين بكثرتهم، لكن القرآن يذكر أن الكثرة لم تغن عنهم شيئًا في أول الأمر.
الدرس ليس الخوف من العمل الجماعي، بل ألا ننسى الله أو نعتمد على العدد وحده. النجاح يحتاج صدقًا واستعدادًا وتوكلًا.
ذكر القرآن يوم حنين وإعجاب بعض الناس بالكثرة.
ما الشيء الذي لا يكفي وحده للنجاح؟
قبل مهمة مهمة، استعد جيدًا ثم ادع الله.
متى شعرت بأن النجاح مضمون فتكاسلت في الاستعداد له؟

After the conquest of Mecca the Muslims went out twelve thousand strong — the largest army they had ever gathered. Some looked at their own numbers and said: we will not be beaten today for being few! Then they came down into the narrow valley of Hunayn, where archers ambushed them at dawn, and the ranks broke. Numbers alone do not win anything.
Numbers are no help when humility and trust are missing.
Days after the conquest of Mecca, Hawazin and Thaqif gathered their forces against the Muslims, and the Prophet ﷺ went out to meet them with twelve thousand men: the ten thousand who had been with him at the conquest, and two thousand of the people of Mecca. It was the largest army the Muslims had ever put in the field. Some of them looked at that number, and it pleased them, and they said: “We will not be beaten today for being few.” There was more in that sentence than they knew. When they came down into the valley of Hunayn — a narrow pass between hills — the archers of Hawazin were waiting in its bends, and they loosed on the front of the army all at once in the half-light of dawn. The front broke, and many turned back. The lesson was too sharp to forget: victory comes from Allah alone, not from the size of a crowd.
Allah says: ﴿وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ إِذْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ كَثْرَتُكُمْ فَلَمْ تُغْنِ عَنكُمْ شَيْئًا﴾ — “and on the day of Hunayn, when your great numbers pleased you but availed you nothing.”
