33:12 The words “Allâh and His Messenger only made us a false and delusive promise” مَّا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا غُرُورً is a reference to the promises regarding the ultimate victory of Islam in verse 38:11 and 54:45, both revealed before Hijrah, and to a vision of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), which he had while digging the trench. It is said that the Holy Prophet saw a spark of fire coming out of a stone after each strike. In each of these sparks the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was shown the kingdoms of Persia and Byzantium submitting themselves into the hands of Muslim armies. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) narrated his vision to many of his Companions, who later became witnesses to the fulfilment of this vision. All authentic books of Traditions testify to this announcement.
