Tafsir of verse 24
Al-Mukhtasar
He is the one who prevented the hands of the idolaters from getting to you when approximately seventy men came at Ḥudaybīyyah, intending to cause you harm. He stopped you from them; you did not kill them or cause them any harm. Rather, you freed them after Allah made it possible for you to capture them. And Allah is watchful over your actions; none of your actions are hidden from Him.
It is He Who restrained their hands from you and your hands from them near Makkah13, after giving you the upper hand over them. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
