BY BOTH SIDES AND ULTIMATELY MUSLIMS WON THE WAR. SO THIS AYAT WAS REVEALED AT THAT PARTICULAR POINT OF TIME TO GIVE BOOST TO THE MUSLIMS IN THE WAR FIELD. FURTHER IT HIS VERSE IS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER VERSE WHICH IS MENTIONED BELOW:
8;13 THIS IS BECAUSE THEY DEIFIED AND DISOBEYED ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER. AND WHOSEVER DEFIES AND DISOBEYS ALLAH AND HIS MESSAENGER THEN VERILY ALLAH IS SEVERE IN PUNISHMENT.
HENCE THIS SHOWS THAT THE ABOVE MENTIONED VERSES WERE MEANT FOR THAT PARTICULAR PERIOD.
[9.5] When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way.
THIS VERSE IS AGAIN FOR THAT PERIOD ONLY WHEN MUSLIMS WON THE MAKKAH BACK. THERE WERE SOME TREATY%u2019S WERE MADE BY MUSLIMS AND MUSHRIKUNS (DISBELIEVERS). MUSHRIKS WERE BREAKING THOSE TREATIES FROM TIME TO TIME. SO AFTER MAKKAH WAS WON THIS VERSE WAS REVEALED FOLLOWED BY THIS VERSE:
9:6 AND IF ANYONE OF THE MUSHRIKUN (DISBELIEVERS) SEEKS YOUR PROTECTION THAN GRANT HIM PROTECTION, SO THAT HE MAY HEAR THE WORD OF ALLAH (THE QURAN) AND THEN ESCORT HIM WHERE HE CAN BE SECURE, THAT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE MEN WHO KNOW NOT.
