Sins (or not) of the Prophet Muhammad in 48:2 ?
-
What do you think about the explanation of the shiite scholar Allamah at- Tabatabai ?
Lo! We have given thee (O Muhammad) a signal victory,
That Allah may forgive thee of thy sin that which is past and that which is to come, and may perfect His favour unto thee, and may guide thee on a right path,
And that Allah may help thee with strong helpIn other words any explanation of the second verse not consistent with the first must be disregarded. In light of this, if the Pickthal translation is believed to be correct, then we are required to assume that the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was a Divine victory so that Allah (swt) could now forgive the Prophet (s) of his past and future sins. This explanation however is clearly nonsensical for two reasons. Firstly, forgiveness of sins is not granted for one?s achievements but rather it is granted upon one?s sincere repentance. Secondly the implication of this explanation means that if Prophet Muhammad (s) were not successful in negotiating a favourable outcome from the treaty, than it would mean the Prophet?s (s) alleged sins would not be forgiven.
The correct interpretation of the verse rests in the examination of the word dhanb. Allamah Tabatab?i explains that although the term incorporates the meaning of sin, it also carries a wider meaning. He establishes this conclusion since dhanb comes from the verb form dhanaba, meaning ?to follow? and the noun form, dhanab meaning ?tail; something that follows?. In other words, dhanb can be interpreted to mean consequence, which is why it is often referred to as sin, since every sin involves an evil consequence. In this case however, the consequence being referred to is the consequence of Prophet Muhammad?s (s) treaty with the Meccans. This would mean the verse will read as follows
?Verily We granted thee (in the treaty of Hudaybiyya) a manifest victory; so that God may protect you from the past and future consequences of your (policy with the Meccans).?
This explanation not only squashes any claim the Quran contradicts itself, but it has also made coherent sense of the continuation between the first and second verses.

This has also been used for slandering and false allegation in 1229. People slandered and levelled false allegations before conquest of Mecca and afterwards, also till today, by derailed minds.

The Quran never used the word conquest. Its fath, which is opening. They returned after being forced into exile.

According to Wikipedia
Ali was born in Bombay, India to a wealthy merchant family with a Dawoodi Bohra father.
A Shia translation but nothing else.

Thanks. They returned after winning the battle, overpowering the enemy. When this word is used for warring groups what gets opened and evident is the victory or conquest/the process of taking control of a place or people by force of arms. War was allowed against those people who forced them out.
