\n He -asws said...

\n He -asws said; \u2018This was Revealed regarding so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar), and Abu Ubeyda Ibn Al-Jarrah, and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf, and Saalim Mawla Abu Huzeyfa, and Al-Mugheira Bin Sho\u2019ba, when they wrote the agreement in between them and took a pledge and agreed that if Muhammad -saww were to pass away, they would not let the Caliphate to be in the Clan of Hashim -asws , nor the Prophet-hood ever.

So, Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed this Verse with regards to them. \n He (the narrator) said, \u2018I said, \u2018The Words of the Mighty and Majestic: Or are they (trying to) conclude a matter? But We are the Concluders [43:79] Or are they reckoning that We cannot Hear their secrets and their whisperings? Yes! And our Messengers (who are) with them, are recording [43:80] . He -asws said: \u2018And these two Verse were (also) Revealed regarding them on that day\u2019.

\n Abu Abdullah -asws said: \u2018Hopefully you will see that it was a day resembling the day of the writing of the agreement except for the day Al-Husayn -asws was martyred, and thus it had preceded in the Knowledge of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic which He -azwj Made known to the Rasool-Allah -saww that when the agreement is written down, Al-Husayn -asws would be martyred, and the kingdom would exit from the Clan of Hashim -asws . So, all of that did take place\u2019.

\n I (the narrator) said, \u2018The Verse: And if two parties from the Momineen fight, then reconcile between them. But, if one of them were to oppress the other, then fight the one which oppresses until it returns to the Command of Allah. So when it does return, then reconcile between them with the justice [49:9] \u2019.

\n He -asws said: \u2018The two parties – rather its explanation came on the day of Al-Basra (The battle of the Camel), and they are the ones belonging to this Verse, and they are the ones who rebelled against Amir Al-Momineen -asws . Thus, it was Obligatory upon him -asws to fight them, and he -asws fought them until they submitted to the Command of Allah -azwj .

\n And had they not been submitted, it would have become Obligatory upon him -asws with regards to what Allah -azwj Revealed, that he -asws should not raise his sword (stop fighting) until they had complied and returned from their opinions, because they had pledged their allegiances willingly, without compulsion. And it is the rebel group just as Allah -azwj the Exalted Said.
