قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: لَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَكَّةَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ قالت الْعَرَبُ بَعْضُهَا لِبَعْضٍ: إِذَا ظَفِرَ مُحَمَّدٌ بِأَهْلِ الْحَرَمِ -وَقَدْ كَانَ اللَّهُ أَجَارَهُمْ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ -فَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ بِهِ يَدَانِ، فَكَانُوا يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانُوا يَدْخُلُونَ وَاحِدًا وَاحِدًا، وَاثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ.

Sayyiduna Hasan – may Allah be pleased with him – said:  When Allah Almighty granted the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – victory on Makkah Mukarramah, the Arabs said to one another, “When Muhammad (may Allah send peace and blessings upon him) conquers Makkah Mukarramah, although Allah Almighty had saved us from the people of elephant, but we will have no option except pledging to follow him.”  After their discussion, they entered Islam in groups.  People entered Islam one or two at a time prior to this.

 

وَقَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ وَمُقَاتِلٌ: أَرَادَ بِالنَّاسِ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ

Sayyiduna ‘Ikramah and Muqatil – may Allah send peace and blessings upon them – said:  Allah Almighty referred to the people of Yemen by “people” in the verse.
