What was revealed of the Qurʾān regarding the polytheists' lying in wait for the Prophet
[ مَا نَزَلَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ فِي تَرَبُّصِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَمَا كَانُوا أَجْمَعُوا لَهُ: وَإِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ يُخْرِجُوكَ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِهِ رَيْبَ الْمَنُونِ قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا فَإِنِّي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: الْمَنُونُ: الْمَوْتُ. وَرَيْبُ الْمَنُونِ: مَا يَرِيبُ وَيَعْرِصُ مِنْهَا. قَالَ أَبُو ذُؤَيْبٍ الهُذَليُّ: أَمِنْ الْمَنُونِ وَرَيْبِهَا تَتَوَجَّعُ وَالدَّهْرُ لَيْسَ بِمُعْتِبٍ مَنْ يَجْزَعُ وَهَذَا الْبَيْتُ فِي قَصِيدَةٍ لَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَأَذِنَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ
Translation
✧ [What was revealed of the Qurʾān concerning the polytheists' lying in wait for the Prophet] Ibn Isḥāq said: Among what God (mighty and glorious is He) revealed of the Qurʾān concerning that day, and what they had resolved to do to him, was: "And when those who disbelieve plot against you, to confine you, or to kill you, or to expel you; they plot, and God plots, and God is the best of plotters" (Q 8:30), and the saying of God (mighty and glorious is He): "Or do they say, 'He is a poet; we wait for him the misfortune of fate'? Say, 'Wait; I am with you among those who wait'" (Q 52:30–31). Ibn Hishām said: al-manūn is death; and rayb al-manūn is what disquiets and disturbs from it. Abū Dhuʾayb al-Hudhalī said: "Do you grieve at fate and its misfortunes, while time does not restore one who complains?" This verse is in an ode of his. Ibn Isḥāq said: At that, God (exalted is He) permitted His Prophet ﷺ to emigrate.
