About the words of Allah ‘Fight them until there is no more paganism’ (8:39)

243. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umayr Bin Azina, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said: I said to Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام, ‘The Statement of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic: “[8:39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah”, So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The case to which this Verse applies has not come yet. The Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم allowed them (the non-Muslims) for his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم need and the needs of his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم companions. Had there come the case of its implementation, he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would not have accepted from them, but they would not spare their lives until they would have accepted the Oneness of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic and until they would not have remained any Polytheism (Shirk)’.
