Hushaym said: Abū Bishr narrated to us from Saʿīd and ʿIkrimah regarding the verse, “You will be called to fight a people of great might” (al-Fath 16). They said, “It refers to the tribe of Hawāzin on the Day of Ḥunayn.” Saʿīd ibn Manṣūr recorded this in his Sunan.
Bundār said: Ghundar narrated to us; he said: Shuʿbah narrated to us from Hushaym, who gave the same explanation and added, “the Hawāzin and the Banū Ḥanīfah.”
ʿAbd Allah ibn Ṣāliḥ reported from Muʿāwiyah ibn Ṣāliḥ, from ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭalḥah, that Ibn ʿAbbās, concerning the phrase “of great might,” said, “the Persians.” He also said that “as-sakīnah (divine tranquillity)” means mercy.
Abū Ḥudhayfah al-Nahdī said: Sufyān narrated to us from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from Abū al-Ahwaṣ, from ʿAlī about the verse, “He it is who sent down the sakīnah into the hearts of the believers” (al-Fath 4). He said, “The sakīnah has a face like that of a human being; afterward it becomes a light, wafting breeze.”
Warqāʾ related from Ibn Abī Najīḥ, from Mujāhid, who said: “The sakīnah is like a wind; it has a head like a cat’s head and two wings.”
Al-Masʿūdī narrated from Qatādah, from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās about the words, “A calamity shall smite them for what they have done” — he said, “a raiding party”; “or alight near their dwelling” — he said, “that is Muhammad ﷺ”; “until the promise of Allah comes to pass” (al-Raʿd 31) — he said, “the conquest of Mecca.”
Mujāhid also said regarding “or alight near their dwelling”: “al-Hudaybiyah and the like.” Shurayk transmitted this from Manṣūr, from him.
Al-Layth reported from ʿAqīl, from Ibn Shihāb: ʿUrwah told me that he heard Marwān ibn al-Ḥakam and al-Miswar recount on the authority of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that when the Messenger of Allah drew up the treaty with Suhayl ibn ʿAmr — and he related the whole incident — Umm Kulthūm bint ʿUqbah ibn Abī Muʿayṭ was among those who came out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on that day.
