Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : and it is he who withheld their hands from you, and your hands from them, in the valley of mecca, at al-hudaybiyya, after he had made you victors over them: for eighty of them surrounded your camp in order to inflict losses upon you, but they were captured and taken to the prophet (s), who pardoned them and set them free, and this resulted in the truce. and god is ever seer of what you do (read ta‘malūna, or ya‘malūna, ‘they do’), that is to say, he is ever possessed of this attribute.
