[48] Surah Al-Fath [The Victory]: Ayat 024

২৪. তিনি মক্কা শহরে তাদের হাত তোমাদের থেকে এবং তোমাদের হাত তাদের থেকে নিবারিত করেছেন তাদের উপর তোমাদেরকে বিজয়ী করার পর।  তোমরা যা কিছু কর, আল্লাহ তা দেখেন।

Ayat 24. And He it is Who has withheld their hands from you and your hands from them in the midst of Makkah, after He had made you victors over them. And Allah is Ever the All-Seer of what you do.

Tafseer of Surah Al-Fath Ayat 24. And it is He Who has restrained their hands from you and your hands from them in the midst of Makkah, after that He gave you the victory over them. And Allah sees well all that ye do. Little incidents had taken place that might have plunged Quraysh and the Muslims from Madinah into a fight. On the one hand, Quraysh were determined to keep out the Muslims, which they had no right to do: and on the other hand, the Muslims, though unarmed, had sworn to stand together, and if they had counter-attacked they could have forced their entrance to the Kabbah, the center of Makkah. But Allah restrained both sides from anything that would have violated the Peace of the Sanctuary, and after the Treaty was signed, all danger was past. 

Hazrat Uqbah bin Al-Harith (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Once I performed the 'Asr prayer in Al-Madinah behind the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH). He  [SAWW](PBUH) got up quickly after finishing the prayer with Taslim, and stepping over the people, went to one of the rooms of his wives. The people were startled at his haste, and when he came out and saw their astonishment at his urgency he said, "I recalled that there was left with me some gold which was meant for charity; I did not like to keep it any longer, so I gave orders that it should be distributed". [Al-Bukhari Hadith # 851].

Lesson : 1. A person should not keep such a thing because of which his attention is diverted from Allah (SWT) towards that thing.

2. Although it is undesirable to jump over the neck of people in ordinary circumstances but it is permissible when special conditions warrant it.
