حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا
19:76.
(۱) یہاں حَتّٰی ہے‘ جو نحو کے لحاظ سے کبھی ابتدائیہ بھی ہوتا ہے۔ یعنی اس کے معنے کوئی نہیں ہوتے صرف حُسنِ کلام کے لئے آتا ہے۔(مغنی اللبیب)
یعنی فیصلہ کے وقت کے آتے ہی محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ماننے والوں کی تعداد بڑھ جائے گی اور کافروں کی گھٹ جائے گی۔ جیسا کہ فی الواقعہ ہوا۔ یہ ایک بہت بڑی پیشگوئی تھی۔ جو اپنے وقت پر پوری ہوئی۔ خصوصاً جب یہ دیکھا جائے کہ یہ سورۃ مکی ہے۔ جب مسلمان کمزور اور تھوڑے تھے۔
