The Holy Quran 48:24 — Surah Al-Fath

Arabic text

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى كَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُم بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَنْ أَظْفَرَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرًا

Translation

It is Allaah Who restrained their hands from (fighting) you and your hands from (fighting) them right in (the valley of) Makkah (at Hudaybiyyah) after granting you dominance over them (when the Muslims captured fifty Mushrikeen who intended to attack them). Allaah is always Watchful over what you do. (Allaah makes events happen for the best. Therefore, although the Muslims would have defeated the Mushrikeen had a battle been fought, Allaah knew of more benefit in the treaty and did not allow a battle to take place.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
