The basis of Nusrat (Allah‟s help) and Fatah (victory) is not numerical inferiority or superiority. The basis is the Ridha (Pleasure) of Allah Ta‟ala. This is what Muslims should always bear in mind. His Pleasure should be cultivated. Then if there is success/victory, express shukr (gratitude). If there is failure, adopt sabr (patience). 

Hadhrat Khaalid Bin Waleed (Radhiyallahu anhu) had selected 30 Sahaabah to oppose an army of 60,000 kuffaar. Hadhrat Abu Ubaidah (Radhiyallahu anhu) commented: “Do you want to destroy the Ummah of Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam)?” Hadhrat Khaalid (Radhiyallahu anhu) then increased the number to 60. That is one against a thousand. They were such illustrious Souls who had no regard for numerical inferiority and superiority.
