Commentators have narrated that the first of the above verses (NO.30) was revealed in the occasion of HUDAYBEYEH PEACE TREATY, which occured on 6 A.H.
In that treaty when the prophet dictated to Hazrat Imam Ali to write the document in the name of Allah the Merciful, the idolaters rejected, saying:ِ ``We do not know who the Merciful, (RAHMÄN) is! There also was a hot controversy about the title of, Mohammad (AS)''. The pagans insisted to remove the title of, ©MESSENGER OF GOD¨. They said:ِ ``If we knew you to be the Messenger of God, we would not fight against you.'' To this effect some of the prophet's disciples became very angry with the heathens and asked the prophet to permit them to wage a sacred war against the Meccans. So the situation in HUDAYBEYEH became very critical, and the prophet through an amazing management succeeded to extinguish the burning fire that was almost kindled. The peace treaty of HUDAYBEYEH is an important event in the history of Islam, that Qurän has referred to in variouse verses, among which this is one.
