﴿ وَمَن يُوَلِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ دُبُرَهُۥٓ إِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًۭا لِّقِتَالٍ أَوْ مُتَحَيِّزًا إِلَىٰ فِئَةٍۢ فَقَدْ بَآءَ بِغَضَبٍۢ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَأْوَىٰهُ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴾
“for, whoever on that day turns his back on them-unless it be in a battle manoeuvre or in an endeavour to join another troop [of the believers] - shall indeed have earned the burden of God's condemnation, and his goal shall be hell: and how vile a journey's end!”
(Whoso on that day) the Day of Badr (turneth his back to them) and flees from them in defeat, (unless manoeuvring for battle) to re-continue fighting or to regroup to charge again (or intent to join a company) to assist and defend him, (he truly has incurred wrath from Allah) he has turned back and deserves Allah's wrath, (and his habitation) his abode (will be hell, a hapless journey's end) with which he will end up.
