And so they were chastised at [the battles of] Badr, Uhud, Hunayn, al-Ahzb and al-Khandaq and he [the Prophet] was given victory over them. And our Lord is the Compassionate One, Whose help is to be sought against what you allege', when you invent lies against God, saying that `[God] has taken a son' [cf. Q. 2;116]; and against me, when you say, `[he is] a sorcerer' [cf. Q. 38;4], or against the Qur'n, when you say, `[it is] poetry' [cf. Q. 52;30]. Medinese, except for verses 52, 53, 54 and 55, which were [revealed] between Mecca and Medina; it consists of 78 verses, revealed after [srat] al-Nr.
Tafseer Ibn Kathir
قَالَ رَبِّ احْكُم بِالْحَقِّ
He said;"My Lord! Judge You in truth!
means, judge between us and our people who disbelieve in the truth.
Qatadah said;
"The Prophets (peace be upon them) used to say;
رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْفَـتِحِينَ
"Our Lord! Judge between us and our people in truth, for You are the Best of those who give judgment." (7;89),
and the Messenger of Allah was commanded to say this too."
It was reported from Malik from Zayd bin Aslam that;
when the Messenger of Allah witnessed any fighting, he would say;
رَبِّ احْكُم بِالْحَقِّ
"My Lord! Judge You in truth!"
وَرَبُّنَا الرَّحْمَنُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ
Our Lord is the Most Gracious, Whose help is to be sought against that which you attribute!
means, `against the various lies and fabrications that you utter, some of which are worse than others;
Allah is the One Whose Help we seek against that.'
