Al-Jalalayn Commentary

And remember O Muhammad (s) when the disbelievers — who had gathered to discuss your affair at the council assembly — were plotting against you to confine you to chain you up and imprison you or slay you — all of them acting as assassins of one man — or to expel you from Mecca and they were plotting against you and God was plotting against them by devising a way out for you when He revealed to you what they had devised and commanded you to leave Mecca; and God is the best of those who plot the most knowledgeable among them about it.
