3The reason for descending the verse
Mujahid narrated that, “The Prophet (s.a.w) mentioned an Israelite who carried weapons and fought for the sake of Allah for a thousand months. The Muslims were astonished to hear this, and so Allah revealed these verses andthe Prophet (s.a.w) said, ‘This is better than the months in which that man carried his weapons and fought.’”(Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation and As-Suyuti in Lubab)
