It has been narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that eighty Persons from the inhabitants of Mecca swooped down upon the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) from the mountain of Tan'im. They were armed and wanted to attack the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and his Companions unawares. He (the Prophet) captured them but spared their lives. So, God, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed the verses:" It is He Who restrained your hands from them and their hands from you in the valley of Mecca after He had given you a victory over them."
