لِيَقْطَعَ طَرَفًا مِّنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَوْ يَكْبِتَهُمْ فَيَنقَلِبُواْ خَآئِبِينَ
[3:127]
That He may cut off a portion from among those who disbelieve, or abase them so that they should return disappointed of attaining what they desired.
That He might cut off a fringe of the Unbelievers or expose them to infamy, and they should then be turned back, frustrated of their purpose.
That He may cut off a part of those who disbelieve, or overwhelm them so that they retire, frustrated.
