And if those who disbelieve join battle with you they will take to flight, and afterward they will find no protecting friend nor helper.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If the Unbelievers should fight you, they would certainly turn their backs; then would they find neither protector nor helper.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( ولو قاتلكم الذين كفروا لولوا الأدبار ثم لا يجدون وليا ولا نصيرا ) يقول تعالى مبشرا لعباده المؤمنين : بأنه لو ناجزهم المشركون لنصر الله رسوله وعباده المؤمنين عليهم ، ولانهزم جيش الكفار فارا مدبرا لا يجدون وليا ولا نصيرا ; لأنهم محاربون لله ولرسوله ولحزبه المؤمنين .
