Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(They say) the one who said this is 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy, especially to his host at the Battle of Tabuk: (Surely, if we return to Medina) from this battle (the mightier) i.e. 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy (will soon drive out) of Medina (the weaker) the weak and humble, meaning by this Muhammad (pbuh); (when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and the believers) to conquer the hypocrites, 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy and his host; (but the hypocrites know not) this nor believe in it.
