Tafsir

When the Prophet may peace and salutation be upon him enjoined the Jews to enter into Islam, after his return from Badr, they said, 'Do not fool yourself just because you killed a few men of Quraysh, inexperienced and knowing nothing about fighting', whereupon the following was revealed: Say, O Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, to the disbelievers, from among the Jews, 'You shall be vanquished (sa-tughlaboon, or [read] sa-yughlaboon, 'they shall be vanquished'), in this world, through being killed or taken captive and made to pay the jizya (which actually took place), and mustered, ([read] in both ways [wa-tuhsharoona, 'you will be mustered', or wa-yuhsharoona, 'they will be mustered']), in the Hereafter, to Hell, which you shall enter - an evil cradling!', [an evil] resting place.
