Question:
A questioner asks about the exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Surah al-Tawbah: 1].
Answer:
This verse was revealed at the end of the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had made a known treaty with some of the polytheists, while with others he had an open-ended treaty, and with others he had no treaty at all. So Allah revealed this verse containing a disavowal of the polytheists and the casting aside of the treaties to them; for this reason, the Exalted said:[At-Tawbah 9:1] “So travel freely in the land for four months” the verse [Surah al-Tawbah: 1-2].
So Allah the Exalted commanded His Messenger to disavow them. Whoever had a treaty was to remain under it until its term expired, and whoever had an open-ended treaty or no treaty at all, Allah granted them four months.
And he sent al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) , and 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) , and those with them in the ninth year of the Hijrah to announce during the season: Whoever has a treaty with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is to remain under it until its term expires, and whoever has no treaty or has an open-ended treaty, he has four months, after which he will be at war with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) unless he enters into Islam.
This is the meaning of the verse according to the people of knowledge.
