8:43

إِذۡ يُرِيكَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى مَنَامِكَ قَلِيلاً۬‌ۖ وَلَوۡ أَرَٮٰكَهُمۡ ڪَثِيرً۬ا لَّفَشِلۡتُمۡ وَلَتَنَـٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَمۡرِ وَلَـٰڪِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَلَّمَ‌ۗ إِنَّهُ ۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٤٣

ALLAH made them appear in your dream (O Muhammad) fewer in number. Had He made them appear more numerous, you would have failed, and you would have disputed among yourselves. But ALLAH saved the situation. He is Knower of the innermost thoughts.
