Commentary
The war did not take place at this occasion, which was a miracle of Allāh's Wisdom, otherwise if the eighty men staying at Mount Tan'im would come down and try to harm the Muslims by attacking them, or if the Muslims did not release them, as they had captured them, then war was imminent. Had war broken out the Quraish would have had to face a humiliating defeat. But the Wisdom of Allāh was to not let the war happen, therefore He held both parties away from the war.
