When this verse was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ, "Indeed, We have given you a clear conquest, that Allah may forgive you what preceded of your sin and what will follow" [Fath 48:1–2], on his return from al-Hudaybiyyah, while sorrow and gloom had overcome them and he had already sacrificed the offering at al-Hudaybiyyah, he said, "A verse has been revealed to me that is dearer to me than the entire world."They said, "Messenger of Allah, we now know what will be done with you, but what will be done with us?"So Allah revealed, "That He may admit the believing men and believing women into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein eternally, and remove from them their misdeeds, and ever is that, in the sight of Allah, a great attainment" [Fath 48:5].Abdul-Wahhab said in his version, "while his companions were overcome with sorrow and gloom," and he said in it, "Then a speaker said, 'Congratulations and may it be wholesome for you, Messenger of Allah. Allah has made clear what will be done with you.'"
