Surah At-Tawbah Ayat 26 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

58. From this we learn that those Muslim soldiers who fled from the Battle of Hunain remained believers as Allah Almighty had pardoned them. Allah Almighty sent down His Calm upon them. Thus if any one now raises any objections or criticism against them they are denying the veracity of this verse. 

Thus it is these very fleeing soldiers who gained control over themselves and turned back to inflict a defeat on the enemy. Thus this victory became an atonement for their past.

 59. By this is meant the angels who had come at Hunain to raise the Muslim pride. The angels did not take any active part in the battle. They only fought in the Battle of Badr.
