Tafseer
{ في بضع سنين } هو ما بين الثلاث إلى التسع أو العشر، فالتقي الجيشان في السنة السابعة من الالتقاء الأول وغلبت الروم فارس { لله الأمر من قبل ومن بعد } أي من قبل غلب الروم ومن بعده المعنى أن غلبة فارس أولا وغلبة الروم ثانيا بأمر الله: أي إرادته { ويومئذٍ } أي يوم تغلب الروم { يفرح المؤمنون } .
{In a few years} is between three and nine or ten years, so the two armies met in the seventh year after the first encounter and the Romans defeated the Persians. {To God belongs the command before and after} that is, before the Romans were defeated and after that, the meaning is that the Persians were defeated first and the Romans were defeated second by God’s command: that is, His will. {And on that day} that is, the day the Romans are defeated {the believers will rejoice}.
