The Koran (Al-Qur'an) CHAPTER XXXII. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. / CHAPTER XXXIII. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD.; lines 29716-29804 confidence: high
The commentary says the tribe of Koreidha, though in league with Mohammed, went over to his enemies; Gabriel tells the prophet the angels have not laid down arms and orders action; Mohammed proclaims prayer for success and besieges their fortress for twenty-five days.
Gabriel commands renewed military action, promises to lead the way, goes before the army, and is sent to shake castles and strike fear into the enemy's hearts.
