(1). 3362. Ibn 'Abbās said: "Umar used to ask me questions in front of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. So 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf said to him: 'Why do you ask him, while we have children like him?'" He said: "Umar said to him: 'It is because of what you know (about him).' So he asked
him about this Āyah: 'When there comes the help of Allāh and the Conquest.'[1] I said: "It is only regarding the (end of the) life-span of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, informing him of it." Then he recited the Sūrat until its end. So 'Umar said to him: "By Allāh! I know not about it, but what you know." (Ṣaḥīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh.
(Another route) with this chain, similarly, except that he said: "So 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf said to him: 'Do you ask him while we have sons like him?'" This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh.

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ has been indicated in this Sūrat, as you have achieved victory and triumph over your enemies with Allāh's help; disbelief has bowed before Islam such that it would never raise its head again. The mission of your Prophet hood ﷺ has completed, you have fulfilled your duty perfectly. Therefore, now this is a time for you to glorify and praise your Lord, ask pardon for your mistakes and prepare for the Hereafter.
