Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah drove back the Confederates disappointed and lostAllah tells us how he drove the Confederates away from Al-Madinah by sending against them a wind and troops of angels. If Allah had not made his Messenger a Mercy to the Worlds, this wind would have been more severe than the barren wind which He sent against `Ad, but Allah says:وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنتَ فِيهِمْ(And Allah would not punish them while you are amongst them) (8:33).
