shooting arrows,
rashq:
a shower of arrows.

was an extremely effective means,
people were greatly influenced by it, and the polytheists of Makkah also used this weapon,
therefore, in response, the same weapon was employed.
Just as nowadays the disbelievers use print and electronic media against Islam and Muslims,
but unfortunately, Muslims are heedless of counterattacking with this weapon,
even though defending oneself is an obligation upon the Ummah.

A lion, in a state of rage and anger, strikes its tail on both sides of its body, so Hassan (radi Allahu anhu),
likening himself to a lion,
compared his tongue to a tail,

he extended his tongue from his mouth and moved it, and said,
la’afriyanahum bilisani:
I will tear apart their honor and dignity with my tongue.

In ‘aradtum ‘anna a‘tamirna:
If you move aside from us,
and do not prevent us from performing ‘umrah at the House of Allah, then we will perform ‘umrah and achieve our objective,
from this it is known
that these verses were composed on the occasion of ‘Umrat al-Hudaybiyyah,
therefore, in the next verse it is said,
if you prevent us from ‘umrah,
then wait for the battle of that day,
in which Allah, the Exalted, will grant victory to the Muslims, and according to the prophecy of Hassan (radi Allahu anhu), Makkah was conquered in 8 AH, and on that day the women of Makkah were striking the faces of the horses with their veils to turn them away,
