Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (and say: truth hath come) muhammad (pbuh) has come with the qur'an; it is also said that this means: islam has become triumphant and muslims numerous (and falsehood hath vanished away) satan, idolatry and its people all perished. (lo! falsehood) satan, idolatry and its adherents (is ever bound to vanish) is ever bound to perish.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : and say, upon your entry into mecca: ‘the truth, islam, has come and falsehood has vanished away, disbelief has come to nothing. truly falsehood is ever bound to vanish’, [ever bound] to fade away and disappear. indeed the prophet (s) entered it [mecca] and there were 360 idols [which had been placed] around the [sacred] house [sc. the ka‘ba]. he [the prophet] then set about thrusting at them with a stick he was carrying, saying those [words] until they had [all] been toppled, as reported by the two shaykhs [bukhārī and muslim].
