3:126 “(And Allah did not provide the army of angels,) but to make it the

happy news for you and so that your hearts are satisfied (and

strengthened) with it. And (the fact is) that the victory is not granted

except from Allah, the All -Powerful, the All - Wise”. [8:10]

3:127 “(Allah provided this support) so as to cut off a part of the

unbelievers, or to disgrace them so that they should retreat as

disappointed”. *

3:128 “ (Holy Prophet!) You have nothing to worry about in the

matter (of the unbelievers). (You have conveyed Allah’s

Commandments with utmost responsibility.) (It is, therefore, for

Allah to decide) whether to accept their repentance (and provide

them an opportunity for accepting Islam) or punish them because

they are surely ‘zalimun’ (unjust)”. *

[See Tadabbur-e-Quran under 3:128.]

* 1. When the Holy Prophet was seriously wounded in the Battle of Uhud, he sought permission from Almighty Allah to pray against the unbelievers (since inflicting wounds on the Prophet was a serious matter). It was because of this that the above Verse was revealed and the Holy Prophet then understood that many of them would accept Islam with Khalid bin Waleed, as one of them.

[Qurtabi – Zia-ul-Quran under 3:128]

Ans bin Malik narrated that when the Holy Prophet was seriously wounded, he sstated, while wiping the blood from his face:

“ How can the people be successful, who are smearing

the face of their Prophet with blood, when he is calling

them towards their Lord”.

It was there that the above Verse (3:128) was then revealed.

[Seerat-un-Nabi by Ibn Hashsham, Vol.II, P. 62, Ghulam Ali & Sons]

2. Before the battle of Uhud, the

Holy Prophet said to his Companions:

“ By Allah! I have experienced a strange dream, whose end is okay.

I observed the killing of my bullocks and the blunting of my sword.

I also observed that my hand has entered into a strong armor,

indicating Al-Madina. The bullocks means some of my companions,

who will be killed. The blunting of my sword indicates that one of

my close relatives will be killed”.

[Seerat-un-Nabi by Ibn Hashsham, Vol.II, P.43, Ghulam Ali & Sons.]

3:129 “ And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is

in the earth. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills.

And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful”. * [2:284]

*[The topic on the Battle of Badr has been interrupted here so as

to give certain Commandments to the believers, as below,

like avoiding interest (Riba) of all kinds and spending in the Way

of Allah, since interest and the niggardly act make the people

coward.]
