8:7

وَاِذْ یَعِدُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اِحْدَى الطَّٓائِفَتَیْنِ اَنَّهَا لَكُمْ وَتَوَدُّونَ اَنَّ غَیْرَ ذَاتِ الشَّوْكَةِ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ وَیُرٖیدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهٖ وَیَقْطَعَ دَابِرَ الْكَافِرٖینَۙ

Waith yaAAidukumu Allahu ihda alttaifatayni annaha lakum watawaddoona anna ghayra thati alshshawkati takoonu lakum wayureedu Allahu an yuhiqqa alhaqqa bikalimatihi wayaqtaAAa dabira alkafireena

Translations

[Remember, O believers], when Allah promised you one of the two groups - that it would be yours - and you wished that the unarmed one would be yours. But Allah intended to establish the truth by His words and to eliminate the disbelievers

Saheeh International

And when Allah promised you one of the two bands (of the enemy) that it should be yours, and ye longed that other than the armed one might be yours. And Allah willed that He should cause the Truth to triumph by His words, and cut the root of the disbelievers
