وَلَوْ قَاتَلَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوَلَّوُا الْأَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُونَ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا٢٢
And if those who disbelieve join battle with you they will take to flight, and afterward they will find no protecting friend nor helper.

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 48:22
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
هذه بشارة من الله لعباده المؤمنين، بنصرهم على أعدائهم الكافرين، وأنهم لو قابلوهم وقاتلوهم { لَوَلَّوُا الْأَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُونَ وَلِيًّا } يتولى أمرهم، { وَلَا نَصِيرًا } ينصرهم ويعينهم على قتالكم، بل هم مخذولون مغلوبون.
