Surah Ar Rad Tafseer

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا نَأْتِي الَارْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا

See they not that We gradually reduce the land from its outlying borders.

Ibn Abbas commented,

"See they not that We are granting land after land to Muhammad!"

Al-Hasan and Ad-Dahhak commented that;

this Ayah refers to Muslims gaining the upper hand over idolators, just as Allah said in another Ayah,

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُمْ مِّنَ الْقُرَى

And indeed We have destroyed towns round about you. (46:27)

وَاللّهُ يَحْكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِ

وَهُوَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسَابِ

And Allah judges, there is none to put back His judgement, and He is swift at reckoning
