Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that when the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, left Makkah for migration, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. These people have expelled their Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him; surely, they will be destroyed." Then this verse was revealed: {أُذِنَ لِلَّذِینَ یُقَاتَلُوْنَ بِأَ نَّہُمْ ظُلِمُوْا وَإِنَّ اللّٰہَ عَلٰی نَصْرِہِمْ لَقَدِیرٌ} … "Permission [to fight] has been given to those against whom war is being waged, because they have been wronged, and Allah is certainly able to help them." At that time, they realized that there would soon be fighting. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: This is the first verse regarding the permission to fight that was revealed.
