Remembrance 1 from Chapter 163

IT IS IMPERATIVE to give thanks to Allah and to praise and extol Him, acknowledging that [the victory was] due to His grace and bounty, not our strength or power, and that victory comes from Allah. One should be careful not to be impressed by numbers, because there is a risk that it may weaken [one’s resolve]. As Allah says: “[Truly Allah did help you on many battlefields] and on the Day of Ḥunayn, when your numbers elated you, but they availed you naught. So the earth, though wide, did constrain you, and you turned back in retreat.” ^[1].
