Abstract:
Most of commentators have considered God’s intention of bringing glad tidings of “Fat’h (Victory)” in surah An-Nasr as the conquest of Mecca. While the study of traditions of cause of revelation of surah beside the lexical، Quranic and historical evidences in this surah and other Fat’h instances in Quran، indicates the wrongness of this opinion. This research- by gathering، categorizing and reviewing the traditions of the cause of revelation of this surah and presenting the above-mentioned evidences- has attempted to show the surah An-Nasr has been revealed after the conquest of Mecca and in the last days of the holy Prophet’s life and the intention and meaning of “Fat’h (Victory)” in surah An-Nasr، unlike what most commentators think، is not the conquest of Mecca; because the traditions entered for this theme not only are transmitted by Sunnis and Shia has no authentic way to approve them، but also are in objection to other multiple traditions، some of which have been narrated from the infallible Imam and are compatible with each other in terms of their theme. Surah An- Nasr brings the glad tidings of Islam’s final triumph and overall victory over all religions and beliefs in all parts of the world at the time of Imam Mahdi.

' A Research on the Interpretation of "Fath" in Surah An-Nasr Farzaneh Rohani Mashhadi ( 1 Abstract Most commentators have considered God's intention of the "fath" (victory/opening) that is foretold to the Prophet( in Surah An-Nasr to be the Conquest of Mecca; however, examining the narrations regarding the reason for the Surah's revelation alongside lexical, Quranic, and historical evidence in this Surah and other instances of "fath" in the Quran, indicates the incorrectness of this interpretive assumption.
This research has attempted, by collecting, categorizing, and examining the narrations of the Surah's reason for revelation and presenting the aforementioned evidence, to show that Surah An-Nasr was revealed after the Conquest of Mecca and in the final days of the blessed life of the Messenger of Allah, and that the intended meaning of "fath" in Surah An-Nasr, contrary to the assumption of most commentators, is not the Conquest of Mecca; because the narrations reported with this content, besides being only from Sunni methods and having no such path in Shia tradition, are in conflict with several other narrations, some of which are narrated from the Infallible Imam( and their contents are consistent with each other.
This narration is mentioned in al-Itqan, quoting Dalail al-Nubuwwah by al-Bayhaqi, in Khisal by Sheikh Saduq (1362, Vol. 2: 487), and in Tafsir al-Qummi (1367, Vol. 2: 447): Abdullah bin Umar said: This Surah (إِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ) until the end, was revealed to the Prophet( during the middle of the days of Tashriq (11 to 13 Dhu al-Hijjah) and he knew that it was the Farewell Pilgrimage.
