Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah sent down the Sakinah into the Hearts of the BelieversAllah the Exalted said,هُوَ الَّذِى أَنزَلَ السَّكِينَةَ(He it is Who sent down As-Sakinah), meaning, tranquility. Qatadah commented, "Grace into the hearts of the believers", that is, the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, on the Day of Al-Hudaybiyyah. The companions were they, who accepted the call of Allah and His Messenger and obeyed the decisions of Allah and His Messenger .
