لَن يَضُرُّوكُمْ إِلَّآ أَذًى ۖ وَإِن يُقَـٰتِلُوكُمْ يُوَلُّوكُمُ ٱلْأَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنصَرُونَ Qur’an Aal-Imran (3:111)
Lan ya d urrookum ill a a th an wain yuq a tilookum yuwallookumu aladb a ra thumma l a yun s aroon a
[but] these can never inflict more than a passing hurt on you; and if they fight against you, they will turn their backs upon you [in flight], and will not be succoured.82
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

As is obvious from the opening sentence of verse {110}, this promise to the followers of the Qur'an is conditional upon their being, or remaining, a community of people who "enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and [truly] believe in God"; and - as history has shown - this promise is bound to lapse whenever the Muslims fail to live up to their faith.

Anyhow, they can do no harm to you except a trifling annoyance; if they do fight against you, they will turn their backs and run, getting no help from anywhere.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
They can never inflict harm on you, except a little annoyance.1 But if they meet you in battle, they will flee and they will have no helpers.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab

 i.e., they can only annoy you with their words.

They will not harm you save a trifling hurt, and if they fight against you they will turn and flee. And afterward they will not be helped.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
They will do you no harm barring a trifling annoyance; if they come out to fight you they will show you their backs and no help shall they get.
