Few Important Incident in virtues of Sura Al Fateh

We mention some famous incidents related to Sura Al Fateh

1. Narrated to Hazrat Usman (the son of Muhib) :

An Egyptian who came and performed the Hajj to the Kabah saw some people sitting. He enquires, “Who are these people?” Somebody said, “They are the tribe of Quraish.” He said, “Who is the old man sitting amongst them?” The people replied, “He is `Abdullah bin `Umar.” He said, “O Ibn Umar! I want to ask you about something; please tell me about it. Do you know that `Usman fled away on the day (of the battle) of Uhud?” Ibn Umar said, “Yes.” The (Egyptian) man said, “Do you know that `Usman was absent on the day (of the battle) of Badr and did not join it?” Ibn Umar said, “Yes.” The man said, “Do you know that he failed to attend the Ar Rizwan pledge and did not witness it (Hudaibiya pledge of allegiance)?” Ibn Umar said, “Yes.” The man said, “Allahu Akbar!” Ibn Umar said, “Let me explain to you (all these three things). As for his flight on the day of Uhud, I testify that Allah has excused him and forgiven him; and as for his absence from the battle of Badr, it was because the daughter of Allah’s Messenger Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) was his wife and she was sick then. Allah’s Messenger Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said to him, “You will receive the same reward and share (of the booty) as anyone of those who participated in the battle of Badar (if you stay with her).’ As for his absence from the Ar-Ridwan pledge of allegiance, had there been any person in Makkah more respectable than Usman (to be sent as a representative). Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) would have sent him instead of him. No doubt, Allah’s Messenger Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) had sent him, and the Ar-Rizwan pledge of Allegiance incident happened after Usman had gone to Makkah. Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) held out his right hand, saying, ‘This is `Usman’s hand.’ He stroke his (other) hand with it, saying, ‘This (pledge of allegiance) is on behalf of `Usman. Then Ibn `Umar said to the man, ‘Bear (these) excuses in mind with you.’

(Sahih al-Bukhari: 3698)

2. Narrated Al-Bara:

Do you (people) consider the conquest of Makkah the Victory (referred to in the Quran 48:1)? Was the conquest of Makkah a victory? We believe that the actual Victory was the Ar-Rizwan Pledge of allegiance, which we gave on Al-Hudaibiya (to the Prophet). On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, we were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet (PBUH) Al-Hudaibiya was a well, the water we used up, leaving not a single drop of water in it. When the Prophet (PBUH) was informed of that, he came and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of water, performed ablution from it, rinsed (his mouth), invoked (Allah), and poured the remaining water into the well. We stayed there for a while, and then the well brought forth what we required of water for ourselves and our riding animals.

(Sahih al-Bukhari: 4150)

3. Narrated to Abdullah bin Abu Aufa who said:

The Companions of the Tree (those who swore allegiance under the tree) were one thousand and three hundred, and the people of the Aslam tribe were one-eighth of the Muhajirs.

(Sahih Muslim: 1857)

4. Narrated to Hazrat Anas (RA):

“While the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was returning from Al-Hudaibiyyah, it was revealed to him, ‘That Allah may forgive you your sins of the past and the future (48:2).’ So the Prophet (PBUH) said: ‘An Ayah has been revealed to me which is dearer to me than whatever is upon the earth.’ Then the Prophet (PBUH) recited it for them, and they said: ‘Congratulations O Messenger of Allah! Allah has explained what He will do with you, but what will He do with us?’ So (the following) was revealed: ‘That He may admit the believing men and the believing women into Gardens under which rivers flow’ up to (His Saying) a supreme success.

(Jamia at-Tirmidhi: 3263)

Conclusion

In this Surah, Allah Almighty explained The Victory (at Ḳhaibar) the earnestness of the pardon of the sins of the Holy Prophet Companions. The mighty Allah is the comforter of true believers but the punisher of hypocrites. Loyalty to Muhammad is loyalty to Allah. Bedouin Arabs were denounced for their treachery at Hudaibiyah and their subsequent hypocrisy. The Bedouin Arabs refused a share of the booty taken at Ḳhaibar but encouraged with promises. Those alone excused from going to war who are incapacitated.
