and kill these (polythe<strong>is</strong>ts/idol-worshippers) alongside him."<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> the establ<strong>is</strong>hed explanation with the scholars of Tafseer<br />

(interpretation of the Qur’aan), and the Qur’aan testifies to th<strong>is</strong><br />

explanation. Allah says,<br />

﴾<br />

َ َ ُ ْ ِ قَ‏ ْ ُ َ ْ َ ْ تف ِ ُ َ<br />

).” َ ْ َ ْ ِ ُ َ یستفتحون ( to “…although aforetime they used<br />

تفْ‏ ِ ُ َ (<br />

IstiftaH) تف -<br />

َ ْ from the word<br />

﴿<br />

) س ( al-Istansar ) <strong>is</strong> تف ( al-IstaftaH<br />

which means ‘asking Fath ( فتح i.e., victory) and Nasr ( نصر i.e., triumph).’<br />

So asking Fath (victory) and Nasr (triumph) by the Prophet <br />

means that the Prophet be sent so that the Jews would fight alongside<br />

him and thus become victorious.<br />

Asking Fath (victory) and Nasr (triumph) by the Prophet does<br />

<strong>not</strong> mean swearing by the Prophet or supplicating by the (Dhaat of the)<br />

Prophet. If ( َ ُ ِ َ تفْ‏ ْ ) meant swearing by the Prophet and supplicating<br />

by (the Dhaat of) the Prophet , then when the Jews swore by the<br />

Prophet or asked by him , then the Jews must have been granted<br />

victory. But the matter was <strong>not</strong> such. Rather when Allah sent<br />

Muhammad , He gave victory - to those who believed in him and<br />

struggled with him - over those who opposed him."<br />

[end quote of Ibn Taymiyyah]<br />
