8:11

Salaam all,

Ith yughashsheekumu alnnuAAasa amanatan minhu wayunazzilu AAalaykum mina alssamai maan liyutahhirakum bihi wayuthhiba AAankum rijza alshshaytani waliyarbita AAala quloobikum wayuthabbita bihi alaqdama

The Aya says:
As He makes the sleepiness overtake you (plural) safety from Him and He brings down on you water from the sky to cleanse you by it and to make the tremblers of Satan leave you and to hold tight your hearts and anchor by it your feet.

My personal note:
The Aya explains certain things that happened to the Muslims before that battle happened and also the reasons why Allah made them sleepy and overtaken by sleep but also why He caused rain to fall the night before. The sleep gave them rest and safety and the rain gave them water to cleanse themselves and remove any doubts about their ritual cleanliness and also make them more sure footed on the sandy soil by making it more firm and more able to help their movement and their animals’ movement.
