Imam Qurtubī-Imam Qurtubī related
the tradition through Ibn ‘Abbās:
The Jews of Khaybar were often at war
with the Ghatafān (tribe). When they confronted each other (in battle) the Jews
were defeated. They attacked again, offering this prayer, “(O Lord,) we beg
You through the mediation of the Unlettered Prophet (ﷺ) about whom You have promised us that you will send him to
us at the end of time. Please help us against them.” Ibn ‘Abbās adds: whenever they faced the enemy, they
offered this prayer and defeated the Ghatafān (tribe). But when the Prophet (ﷺ) was sent, they denied (him). So Allah the Exalted
revealed the verse: “And before that they themselves had (prayed) for
victory (through the mediation of the last Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the Book revealed to him) over the disbelievers,”
that is, through your mediation, O Muhammad.
►Qurtubī, al-Jāmi‘ li-ahkām-il-Qur’ān, 2:27
Mahmud Alusī said: This (verse) was revealed about Banū Qurayzah and Banū Nadīr
who used to pray for victory over Aws and Khazraj before Allah’s Messenger’s
Prophethood. Ibn ‘Abbās and Qatādah have given expression to the same reality.
It means that they prayed to Allah through his mediation for victory over the
polytheists as also stated by as-Suddiyy: when the war raged between them
and the polytheists, they opened the Torah and placed their hand on the spot
where the Prophet (ﷺ) was mentioned and prayed, “O Allah,
we pray to You through the mediation of Your Prophet You have promised with us
to send him at the end of time; today grant us victory over our enemies.” So
(by the blessing of this prayer) they were made victorious.Mahmūd Alūsī, Rūh-ul-ma‘ānī (1:320)
Imam Jalāl-ud-Dīn Mahallī and Imam
Jalāl-ud-Dīn Suyūtī -They write the Jews used to pray in these words:“O
Allah, grant us victory through the mediation of the Prophet who is to appear
at the end of time.”Mahallī and Suyūtī, Tafsīr-ul-jalālayn (p.14)
Imam Ibn Kathīr says:The Jews used to pray for victory over the Arab
polytheists through the mediation of Muhammad(ﷺ)Ibn Kathīr,
Tafsīr-ul-Qur’ān al-‘azīm (1:124)
Imam Suyūtī-He narrates two traditions
on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbās in this context as follows:The Jews of Banū
Qurayzah and Banū Nadīr used to pray for victory over the disbelievers and the
infidels before the Prophethood of Muhammad. They said: O Allah, bless us
with victory through the mediation of the Unlettered Prophet, and they were
blessed with victory.
The Jews of Medina, before the arrival of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), in their war against the (tribes of) Arab disbelievers –
Asad, Ghatafān, Juhaynah and ‘Udhrah – prayed for victory over them and sought
help by invoking the name of Allah’s Messenger. They said: O Allah, our
Lord, grant us victory over them through the name of Your Prophet and through
Your Book to be revealed to him whose Prophethood You have promised us at the
end of time.
Suyūtī, ad-Durr-ul-manthūr (1:88)
When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
