Almighty Allaah Says (what means): "When the victory of Allaah has
come and the conquest [of Makkah]. And you see the people entering
into the religion of Allaah in multitudes. Then exalt [Him] withpraise
of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is ever Accepting
of repentance." [Quran: 110:1-4]
Explanation:
Imaam At-Tirmithi related from Anas Ibn Maalik that the Messenger once
asked a man: "Are you married?" He replied:"No, I swear by Allaah, O
Messenger of Allaah! For Ihave nothing, so how can I marry?" He
askedthe man: "Do you not have: "Say: `He is Allaah, the One."'[i.e.,
Soorah Al-Ikhlaas]?" The man replied: "Certainly!" He said: "It is
(equivalent to)one third of the Quran." Then he asked: "Do you not
have: "When the victory of Allaah has come and the conquest [of
Makkah]" [i.e., SoorahAn-Nasr]?" The man replied: "Certainly!" The
Prophet then said: "It is (equivalent to) one quarter of the Quran."
`Ubaydullaah Ibn `Abdullaah Ibn `Utbah narrated that Ibn `Abbaas said
to him:"Do you know which Soorah (chapter) was thelast to be revealed
from the Quran?" I replied:"Yes, and it was (what means): "When the
victory of Allaah has come and the conquest [of Makkah]."" He said:
"You are right."
Abu Bakr Al-Bazzaar and Al-Bayhaqi both narrated from Ibn `Umar that
he said: "This Soorah was revealed to the Messenger of Allaah during
the days of Tashreeq (i.e., the 11th, 12 th and 13th of Thu'l-Hijjah)
and he knew that it was his farewell address. He called for his
riding-camel, and when he had travelled some way on it, he stood and
addressed the people with his famous farewell speech. According to
Imaam Al-Bayhaqi Ibn `Abbaas said: "This Soorah was revealed,
following which the Messenger of Allaah summoned his daughter Faatimah
and said to her: " It heralds my death." At this, Faatimah began to
cry; but she laughed when he said: "Have Patience, for you are the
first of my family who will join me." [Muslim]
Imaam At-Tabaraani related on the authority of Ibn `Abbaas that he
said: "When the Soorah: "When the victory of Allaah has come and the
conquest [of Makkah]." was revealed, it heralded to Allaah's Messenger
that his death was near, and so he intensified his preparations for
the Hereafter (by increasing his prayers, fasting, supplicating etc.);
after embarking upon this, he said: " The conquest and the help of
Allaah have come, andthe people of Yemen have come." A man asked: "O
Messenger of Allaah! Whoare the people of Yemen ?" He replied: "A
people who are gentle-hearted and moderate in their ways: faith is in
Yemen ; fiqh (understanding of Islam) is in Yemen ." [Al-Bukhaari]
It has been confirmed from Ibn `Abbaas that the Messenger of Allaah
said on the day of the conquest of Makkah: "There is no Hijrah (i.e.
emigration) after the conquest, but there is Jihaad and Niyyah (pure
intention) and if you are called upon, then respond to the call."
[Al-Bukhaari & Muslim]
Masrooq said: "I heard`Aa'ishah saying that the Messenger of Allaah
would repeat: " Glorified be Allaah and all praise be to Him,I ask
Allaah's forgiveness and I turn to Him in repentance." He continued:
"Indeed, my Lord has informed methat I will see a sign amongst my
people, and He ordered me, if I do seeit, to glorify His praises and
ask His forgiveness, and I have seen it, (it is): 'When the victory of
Allaah has come and the conquest [of Makkah]. And you see the people
entering into the religion of Allaah in multitudes. Then exalt [Him]
with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is
ever Accepting of repentance.'"" [Muslim]
Umm Salamah said:"Towards the end of his life, the Messenger of Allaah
would not stand, nor sit, nor depart,nor arrive, without saying: "Most
Glorified is Allaah and all praise is due to Him." So I said to him:
"O Messenger of Allaah! I have observed you frequently glorifying
Allaah and praising Him." He said: "I was ordered to do it." Then he
said: "When the victory of Allaah has come and the conquest [of
Makkah]..." (to the end of the Soorah)." What is meant by 'the
conquest' is the conquestof Makkah. The people ofArabia were slow in
answering the call to Islam until the fall of Makkah, then they
entered the Religion of Allaah in crowds and within two years, the
whole of Arabia became unified in faith and all the tribes of Arabia
embraced Islam.
Imaam Al-Bukhaari reported that when Makkah was conquered, delegations
from all the tribes of Arabia came to the Messenger of Allaah to
declare their allegiance to Islam, whileprior to it, they were slow to
embrace Islam.
Imam Ahmad narrated on the authorityof the neighbour of Jaabir Ibn
`Abdullaah may Allaah be pleased him that he (i.e., the neighbour)
said: "I once returned from a journey and Jaabir Ibn `Abdullaahcame to
me and greeted me. I began to talk with him about the disunity ofthe
people and their innovations (in religion). Jaabir then began to cry
and said: "I heard Allaah'sMessenger say: "Indeed, the people entered
the Religion of Allaah in crowds and they will abandon it in crowds."
