يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَا تَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ وَأَنتُمۡ تَسۡمَعُونَ
20O you who believe! Obey Allah and His messenger and don’t turn away from it when you hear it. (Hence, obey it also just like you believe it).
20The reason for descending the verse
Narrated by Al-Hakim Abu 'Abd Allah in his Sahih, “Before they set off to fight the Prophet(s.a.w) in Uhud, the idolaters grabbed the covers of the Ka'bah and prayed, 'O Allah, give victory to the greatest of the two armies, the most guided of the two camps, the noblest of the two parties, and the best of the two religions', and so Allah(exalted is He) revealed these verses.”(Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation)
