Al-Fath
وَمَغَانِمَ كَثِيرَةٗ يَأۡخُذُونَهَاۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمٗا
19And they shall capture a lot of war booty (from Khaiber, to be distributed among the participants of Hudaibiah only). And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise (Grants victory with His wisdom to whom and when He wills).
19The reason for descending the verse
On the authority of Salmah ibn Al-Akwah he said,“When the Companions were resting during the day, a messenger of the Prophet (s.a.w) exclaimed, ‘O Muslims, let’s give the pledge of allegiance’. Soon the Muslims faced the Prophet (s.a.w) when he was sheltering under a samurah tree. They gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (s.a.w). So Allah revealed the verse (Indeed, Allah was pleased with the believers when they gave the Bai’ah [pledge] to you [Muhammad] under the tree; He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down as-Sakinah [calmness and tranquility] upon them, and He rewarded them with a near victory)”[Surah Al-Fath, 48:18] (Jalaluddin As-Suyuti in Lubab)
