Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Allah promiseth you much booty that ye will capture) this is the booty of Persia which they had not captured yet but would capture a few years later, (and hath given you this) i.e. the booty of Khaybar (in advance, and hath withheld men's hands from you) from fighting you; referring here to Asad and Ghatafan who were allies of Khaybar, (that it) the conquest of Khaybar (may be a token) a lesson and sign (for the believers) this is because the believers were about 8,000 in number while Khaybar were about 70,000, (and that He may guide you on a right path) and that He may hold you firm on an established religion with which He is pleased.

God has promised you abundant spoils which you will capture through the various conquests. So He has expedited this one the spoils of Khaybar for you and withheld men’s hands from you with regard to your families after you had set off on the campaign as the Jews had intended to plot against them; but God cast terror into their hearts; so that it the expedited one wa-li-takūna is a supplement to an implied verb that is to say li-tashkurūhu ‘that you may give thanks to Him’ may be a sign for the believers of their being assisted by God and that He may guide you on a straight path that is to say the way in which you should rely on Him and entrust any affair to Him exalted be He;
