Commentary
Messenger of Allah
Almighty reached the place named ‘Hamraa’ul ‘Asad’ with the Army of
Muslim crusaders to follow Abu Sufiyan. Distance of this place is
eight miles from Madinah. When Abu
Sufiyan heard that the Muslims have been following him, his heart was
terrified severely. He postponed the idea of attack and ran away towards Makkah. Occasionally a body of traders
of Abdul Qais was proceeding to Madinah. Abu Sufiyan excited them by enticing something
to remove his humiliation; that they should announce such news after reaching Madinah, as hearing that news the
Muslims would be overawed and frightened. The people of that caravan began to
say after reaching Madinah that, ‘The
people of Makkah have prepared a very
huge Army to ruin the Muslims’. Hearing this news, excitement of faith
increased in the hearts of Muslims more than earlier instead of fearing, and
they began to say after listening to the state of Infidels’ Army, “Allah is
sufficient for us opposite to the entire world! Most Excellent is He in Whom we
trust”. These feelings of the Muslims and their rewards have been described in
this verse.
Another narrative
exists also in connection with the reason of revelation of these verses. That
is, “At the end of the Battle of ‘Uhud, Abu Sufiyan announced that the
battle will be fought again next year at the place of Badr. You
should be ready”. The Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) accepted this challenge. When the next year came, he (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) commanded the people to come out
for Jihad (religious crusade).
On the other side, Abu Sufiyan left
Makkah with his Army. He traveled
some distance but lost his courage and as he heard the preparation of the
Muslims, their awe prevailed over him. Therefore, he wanted to go back to Makkah and evade regarding famine but he
thought that it should be dealt with a plan that the Muslims should be blamed.
By chance, a person was proceeding towards Madinah. Abu
Sufiyan tempted him for anything and said, “Announce such news after
reaching Madinah, because of which
the Muslims be frightened and they do not come out for war”. This person
reached Madinah and began to announce
the news that the people of Makkah
have collected very large number of Army and it would not be better for the
Muslims to fight against them. But Allah Almighty strengthened the intentions
of Muslims. They said, “Allah is sufficient for us”. Eventually, the Muslims
reached the battlefield of Badr according to the promise but
the Infidels did not arrive for fighting. A very heavy market used to establish
there. Therefore, the Muslims remained there for three days, earned very well
profit in trade and returned to Madinah.
