Commentary
'Appearing before the people' (i.e. his meeting the people) was in the hope of finding a person or tribe from amongst the people coming from all parts of the Arab world at the time of Hajj that could help him in his preachings, and thwart the designs of his opponents, so that the people could comprehend the truth and accept it.
