Eighty armed men from the people of Mecca came down upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Mount Tanim, intending to catch the Prophet ﷺ and his companions off guard. He captured them peacefully and spared their lives, so Allah revealed, "And it is He who withheld their hands from you and your hands from them within Mecca after He caused you to overcome them" [Fath 48:24].
أن ثمانين رجلا من أهل مكة هبطوا على رسول الله ﷺ له من جبل التنعيم متسلحين يريدون غرة النبي ﷺ وأصحابه، فأخذهم سلما فاستحياهم فأنزل الله عز وجل: {وهو الذي كف أيديهم عنكم وأيديكم عنهم ببطن مكة من بعد أن أظفركم عليهم}.
Muslim narrated it in jihad (1808), on the authority of Amr bin Muhammad Naqid, who said, Yazid bin Harun narrated to us, Hammad bin Salama informed us, from Thabit, from Anas, and he related it.Regarding his statement "salman", Nawawi said, they recorded it in two ways, with fatha on the sin and the lam, and with sukun on the lam along with either kasra or fatha on the sin. Humaydi said its meaning is reconciliation. The judge said, this is how most recorded it, but the first reading is more apparent, meaning he took them captive. Khattabi was decisive in reading it with fatha on both the lam and the sin, and said, what is meant by it is submission and compliance, as in His saying, "and offer you submission" [Nisa 4:90], meaning surrender, and it is a noun that applies to one, two, or many. Ibn Athir said, this is the reading most fitting for the story, for they were not taken by reconciliation, rather they were taken by force, and they surrendered themselves out of helplessness.
