Surah 4 An-Nisaa — Ayah 75
وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَٱجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّۭا وَٱجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا
በአላህ መንገድና ከወንዶች ከሴቶችና ከልጆችም የኾኑትን ደካሞች እነዚያን፡- «ጌታችን ሆይ! ከዚች ባለቤቶችዋ በዳይ ከኾኑት ከተማ አውጣን ከአንተም ዘንድ ለእኛ አሳዳሪን አድርግልን ከአንተ ዘንድም ለእኛ ረዳትን አድርግልን» የሚሉትን (ለማዳን) የማትጋደሉት ለእናንተ ምን አላችሁ

Tafsir · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
Encouraging Jihad to Defend the Oppressed
Allah encouraged His believing servants to perform Jihad in His cause and to strive hard to save the oppressed Muslims in Makkah, men, women and children who were restless because of having to remain there. This is why Allah said,
(whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town), referring to Makkah. In a similar Ayah, Allah said,
(And many a town, stronger than your town which has driven you out) Allah then describes this town,
(whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help) meaning, send protectors and helpers for us. Al-Bukhari recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, "I and my mother were from the oppressed (in Makkah)." Allah then said,
(Those who believe, fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of the Taghut. ) Therefore, the believers fight in obedience to Allah and to gain His pleasure, while the disbelievers fight in obedience to Shaytan. Allah then encourages the believers to fight His enemies,
(So fight against the friends of Shaytan; ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaytan).
