And it was He Who had held back their hands from you and your hands from them in the interior of Makkah, after He had given you victory over them {3}, and Allah is the Seer of what you do.
These verses refer to conquest of Makkah.
Conquest of Makkah (8 H):
The Makkan non-muslims broke the treaty with Muslims, therefore all Muslims capable of participating in war marched against Mecca under the leadership of (Prophet Muhammed (PBH). The Meccan non-muslims were not able to put up a fight with the mighty force of muslims and surrendered without a war. The Meccan non-muslims expected severe punishment from muslims due to the tortures they had inflicted on them earlier, but the prophet (PBH) forgave all except a few criminals. History has witnessed Prophet Muhammed (PBH) and his companions entering the holy city of Makkah with the humility of pilgrims, heads bowed down and hearts full of Allah’s fear. No one could guess that they were conquerors of Makkah the very place from where they were forced to flee. The announcement of general forgiveness brought, so great a relief that practically the whole population of Makkah rushed to surrender and a large number of Makkans immediately accepted Islam.

Those were the persons who did not believe and turned you away from the Sacred Mosque and stopped the offering from reaching its destination. And had believing men and believing women not been there, whom you did not know and whom you would have trampled, then distress would have befallen you on account of them, unknowingly. (You were held back) so that Allah may make to enter into His mercy, whom He wills. Had they (the believers and infidels) been separated (one from another). We would have punished those who did not believe from among them, with a painful punishment.

When those who did not believe, cherished in their hearts a rage and (that too) the rage of ignorance, then Allah sent down His tranquility on His messenger and on the believers, and made them stick to the statement of restrain, and they deserved it and were worthy of it, and Allah has knowledge of everything.

Allah indeed made true, His messenger’s vision of reality, that if Allah wills, you will definitely enter the Sacred Mosque secure, (some) having your heads shaved while (others having their hair) reduced, (entering) without fear. So, He knew that which you did not know, therefore He brought about a near victory (of Khaiber), besides that.

Muhammed is the messenger of Allah, and those with him are strong against the infidels and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing down, prostrating, seeking grace from Allah and (His) pleasure, their marks due to the effect of, prostrations are there in their faces. That is their likeness (mentioned) in the Torah and their likeness mentioned in the Injeel. (They are) like vegetation which (first) puts forth its sprout then it becomes firm then it becomes thick, then it stands balanced on its stem, pleasing the sowers, that He may make the infidels angry through them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous works, protective forgiveness and a great reward. (R 4)
Some good qualities of prophet Muhammed (PBH) and his companions (PBH) are mentioned.
