Please explain the asbabun nuzul of ayat19-20 surat Taubah, as well as verse 41
Answer
1. Imaam Baghawiy (RA) has recorded a narration of ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) that on the occasion of Badr (first battle fought by the Muslims in 1 AH), Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) was captured by the Muslims. He addressed the Muslims thus, 'You people have accepted Imaan and migrated to Madina. This does not exclude us of being praiseworthy as we are the people of the Masjidul Haram and we hand over water to the pilgrims.' On this, Allah revealed Aayat 19-20 of Surah Tawbah (Tafseer Mazhari vol.5 pg.201; Darul Ishaat
2. This verse refers to the battle of Tabuk which was fought against the Romans. Allah Ta'ala revealed this verse in order to distinguish the hypocrites from the true believers. For this reason, Allah Ta'ala says, 'Come out in the path of Allah in any condition.' (Ma'ariful Qur'aan vol.4 pg.377; Darul Kitaab)
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
