Tafheem-ul-Quran - Abul Ala Maududi translation for Surah Al-Fath — Ayah 22

48:22
وَلَوۡ قَٰتَلَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوَلَّوُاْ ٱلۡأَدۡبَٰرَ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُونَ وَلِيّٗا وَلَا نَصِيرٗا ٢٢
Had the unbelievers fought against you at that time, they would have turned their backs (in flight), and would have found none to protect or help them.1
Footnotes
  • [1] Qira’at: Ibn ʻAmer and Al-Kesa’i read it as: “. . . you will certainly be shown purgatory.”
  • [2] That is, Allah did not prevent fighting at Hudaibiyah because there was a possibility of your being defeated there, but there were other reasons for it, which are being stated in the following verses. Had that factor not been there and Allah had allowed the war to take place, the disbelievers would surely have been routed and Makkah would have fallen to you at that very time.
