1The reason for descending the verse
Muqatil reported that, “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent a military expedition to a clan of Banu Kinanah and appointed Al-Mundhir ibn ‘Amr al-Ansari as its leader. When their news was late to come, the hypocrites said, ‘They have all been killed’, and so Allah (s.w.t) gave news about this expedition and revealed this verse.”(Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation)
