(When those who disbelieve) the disbelievers of Mecca (had set up in their hearts zealotry, the zealotry of the Age of Ignorance) by preventing the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and his Companions from the House, (then Allah sent down His peace of reassurance) His tranquillity (upon His messenger and upon the believers) and removed zealotry from them (and imposed on them) and inspired them with (the word of self restraint) “there is no deity save Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”, (for they were worthy of it) they were worthy of “there is no deity save Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”, as it was in Allah's beginninglessly eternal knowledge (and meet for it) in the life of this world. (And Allah is Aware of all things) regarding honouring the believers.
