Al Ahzaab 33:22-23

And when the Mu’minoon saw Al Ahzâb (Confederates), they said: "This is what Allâh and His Messenger had promised us, and Allâh and His Messenger had spoken the truth, and it only added to their faith and to their submissiveness (to Allâh).

Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allâh. Of them some have fulfilled their obligations (been martyred), and some of them are still waiting, but they haven’t changed [covenant with Allâh] in the least
