Sura 48
Aya 24
24
وَهُوَ الَّذي كَفَّ أَيدِيَهُم عَنكُم وَأَيدِيَكُم عَنهُم بِبَطنِ مَكَّةَ مِن بَعدِ أَن أَظفَرَكُم عَلَيهِم ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ بَصيرًا

Ali Unal

And He it is Who restrained their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of Makkah, after He had granted you victory over them.1 Surely God sees well all that you do.
  • This victory is that which happened when the Makkans could not do anything to the Muslims who had come for Minor Pilgrimage, and they returned safe and sound to their families, despite the expectations of the hypocrites. In addition, the Makkans had to recognize Madīnah as an equal city-state to them, and the Muslims secured the Minor Pilgrimage for the following year. The truce signed also paved the way for them to communicate Islam in circumstances of peace and, in consequence, numerous people converted. All these developments ended two years later in the conquest of Makkah, the decisive bloodless victory of Islam.
