Name of Surah Al Nasr

One of the names of this Surah is /taudi’/ ‘leave-taking’,” because it implicitly implicates the death of the Prophet (S).

A tradition indicates that when this Surah was revealed and the holy Prophet (S) recited it to the followers, they all became happy, but Abbas, the uncle of the holy Prophet (S), began shedding tears.

The holy Prophet (S) asked him why he was crying. He answered that he supposed the Surah contained the implication of the Prophet’s death.

And also called suratu “Al-fath” “the conquest” because This Surah was revealed at Medina after the conquest of Mecca

Related Ahadith for Surah Nasr:

‘ Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said:
After the revelation of (the Surah) “When the Help of Allah comes (to you, O Muhammad (ﷺ) against your enemies) and the Conquest (of Makkah)” (110:1)

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in every prayer: “Subhanaka Rabbana wa bihamdika, Allahum-maghfir li (Far removed You are from every imperfection, our Rubb, and all praise is for You, forgive me, O Allah)”.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited frequently in bowing and prostration: “Subhanaka Rabbana wa bihamdika, Allahum-maghfir li. (Far removed You are from every imperfection, our Rubb, and all praise is for You, forgive me, O Allah)”.

He elucidated that it has been commanded in the Noble Qur’an to recite: “So glorify the Praises of your Rubb, and ask for His forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and Who forgives”. (V.110:1) And he (the Messenger of Allah) acted upon it.

According to the narration in Muslim, Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) frequently recited these words just before he passed away: “Subhanaka Rabbana wa bihamdika. Astaghfiruka wa atubu ilaika.”

I (‘Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) asked him: “O Messenger of Allah! What are these new words which I hear from you repeatedly.” He replied, “A sign has been appointed for me relating to my people that I should repeat these words at the sight of that sign”. Then he recited Surat An Nasr.

Another narration in Muslim related from ‘Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) often recited, “Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him; I seek forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance.”

I said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, I hear you recite frequently: ‘O Allah, You are free from every imperfection our Rubb and all praise is for You;

I seek forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance.”‘ He replied, “My Rubb has informed me that I would soon see a sign regarding my people, whenever I see it, I repeat this statement more often (of His Glorification and Praise and beg pardon of Him and turn to Him). Now I have witnessed the sign. The revelation of Surat An-Nasr and the victory is the conquest of Makkah.”

“When there comes the Help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad (ﷺ) against your enemies) and the Conquest (of Makkah). And you see that the people enter Allah’s religion (Islam) in crowds. So glorify the Praises of your Rubb, and ask His forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and Who forgives.” (110:1-3)

Simple Explanation of Surah ِAn nasr:

Surah An Nasr [110] (Succour)

1-When comes the Help of Allah, and Victory,
2- And thou dost see the people enter Allah.s Religion in crowds,
3- Celebrate the praises of thy Lord, and pray for His Forgiveness: For He is Oft-Returning (in Grace and Mercy).

1. When comes the Help of Allah, and Victory,

The victory in this verse refers to the conquest of Mecca. There can be no victory without Allah’s Help. [2]

Victory comes only by the Help of Allah. Verily! Allah is Mighty, Wise.

In Surah al-Imran, Allah says: [3]

If Allah is your Helper none can overcome you, and if He withdraws His Help from you, who is there who can help you after Him? In Allah let believers put their trust.

Prior to the conquest of Mecca, Allah gave Muslims the good news of this great victory in Surah al-Fatah, at the occasion of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah (an agreement that took place between Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Quraysh of Mecca although most of the clauses of the treaty were against Muslims). [4]

Verily We have granted you a manifest Victory.

Allah guaranteed this victory to Muslims after a long period of trials and patience.

This verse also indicates that Allah has completed the mission of His Messenger by making him successful in conveying the message. [5]

Narrated Ibn Abbas (RA):

Umar (RA) asked the people regarding Allah’s Statement: “When comes the Help of Allah (to you O Muhammad against your enemies) and the conquest of Mecca?” They replied, “It indicates the future conquest of towns and palaces (by Muslims).”

Umar said, “What do you say about it, O Ibn Abbas?” I replied, “(This Surah) indicates the termination of the life of Muhammad. Through it he was informed of the nearness of his death.”

2. And you see the people enter Allah’s Religion in crowds,

Truly, the conquest of Mecca opened a new chapter in the history of Islam. Earlier, many of the Arab tribes resisted joining with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). They wanted to see who would emerge victorious between him and the Quraysh.

They reasoned that if the Quraysh were victorious, then Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was not really a prophet! But if he was victorious, they reasoned, then he must really be a Messenger of Allah. [6]

Narrated Hz Amr bin Salama (RA):

And the Arabs (other than Quraysh) delayed their acceptance of Islam till the Conquest (of Mecca). They used to say. “Leave him (i.e. Muhammad) and his people Quraysh: if he overpowers them, then he is a true Prophet.” So, when Mecca was conquered, then every tribe rushed to embrace Islam.

3. Celebrate the praises of your Lord, and pray for His Forgiveness: For He is Oft-Returning (in Grace and Mercy).

Allah is the One who gives victories, so thanks should be given to Him. This is why in this verse Allah tells us to celebrate His praises, and offer thanks to Him.
