quran:3:123 –

And already had Allah given you victory at ˹the battle of˺ Badr while you were few in number. Then fear Allah; perhaps you will be grateful.  

When they were defeated, the following was revealed as a way of reminding them of God’s favour: God already gave you victory at Badr, a location between Mecca and Medina, when you were contemptible, few in number and weapons. So fear God, in order that you might be thankful, for His blessings.
القرآن:٣:١٢٣ –

وَلَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِبَدْرٍ وَأَنْتُمْ أَذِلَّةٌ ۖ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ  

ونزل لما هزموا تذكيرا لهم بنعمة الله {ولقد نصركم الله ببدر} موضع بين مكة والمدينة {وأنتم أذلة} بقلة العدد والسلاح {فاتقوا الله لعلكم تشكرون} نعمه.
