8:66
الآنَ خَفَّفَ اللّهُ عَنكُمْ وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ فِيكُمْ ضَعْفًا فَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُم مِّئَةٌ صَابِرَةٌ يَغْلِبُواْ مِئَتَيْنِ وَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُمْ أَلْفٌ يَغْلِبُواْ أَلْفَيْنِ بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ وَاللّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
Alana khaffafa Allahu AAankum waAAalima anna feekum daAAfan fain yakun minkum miatun sabiratun yaghliboo miatayni wain yakun minkum alfun yaghliboo alfayni biithni Allahi waAllahu maAAa alssabireena
Now Allah lightened from you (plural) and knew that there is weakness in you so if there be a hundred disciplined they beat two hundred and if there be of you a thousand they beat two thousand by Allah's permission and Allah is with the disciplined.
The weakness here can encompass many areas as in lack of preparation and strength and so on. The message is still the same and that Allah supports the ones who are patient, self-restrained, deliberate and disciplined in their actions.
The “with” that is mentioned in the last sentence carries with it the meaning of support and being on the side of that group.
