knowledge.)” One day ‘Umar called me and made me sit in the gathering of those people; and I think
that he called me just to show them. (my religious knowledge). ‘Umar then asked them (in my pres –
ence). “What do you say about the interpretation of the Statement of Allah:
‘When comes Help of Allah (to you O, Muhammad against your enemies) and the conquest (of
Mecca).’ (110.1) Some of them said, “We are ordered to praise Allah and ask for His forgiveness

‘(O Muhammad) When comes the Help of Allah (to you against your enemies) and the conquest
(of Mecca) (which is the sign of your death). You should celebrate the praises of your Lord and ask
for His Forgiveness, and He is the One Who accepts the repentance and forgives.’ (110.3) On that
