Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Command to be Patient and Good News of VictoryHere Allah commands His Messenger to patiently bear the rejection of those who rejected him: `Allah will fulfill His promise to you that you will be victorious and will prevail over your people, and you and those who follow you, will be the successful ones in this world and the Hereafter.
