19وَمَغانِمَ كَثيرَةً يَأخُذونَها ۗ وَكانَ اللَّهُ عَزيزًا حَكيمًاAli UnalAnd much in gains of war that they will take.1 And God is All-Glorious with irresistible might, All-Wise.The verse mentions the allegiance which 1,400–1,500 believers swore to the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, at Hudaybiyah. When rumors circulated that ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān, who had been sent to Makkah to negotiate the Muslims’ intention to make Minor Pilgrimage, had been killed, God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, called the believers in his company to swear allegiance to him to defend themselves even if they might be killed. They had come with the intention to visit the Ka’bah and to make a Minor Pilgrimage. However, when they met with the unexpected reaction and felt their cause to be under great threat, they united around the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, as if a single body. They had no other intention than to serve God’s cause in order to gain His approval and good pleasure. God was well pleased with the purity of intention and faithfulness in their hearts. So He favored them with a victory in the near future: i.e., the conquest of Khaybar and abundant war-gains.
