سُوْرَةُ الْفَتْحِ
Surah Al-Fath (48) — Ayah 27
لَّقَدْ صَدَقَ ٱللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ ٱلرُّءْيَا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ لَتَدْخُلُنَّ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ ٱلْحَرَامَ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ءَامِنِينَ مُحَلِّقِينَ رُءُوسَكُمْ وَمُقَصِّرِينَ لَا تَخَافُونَ ۖ فَعَلِمَ مَا لَمْ تَعْلَمُوا۟ فَجَعَلَ مِن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ فَتْحًا قَرِيبًا ﴿27﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Indeed Allâh shall fulfil the true vision which He showed to His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) [i.e. the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saw a dream that he has entered Makkah along with his Companions, having their (head) hair shaved and cut short] in very truth. Certainly, you shall enter Al-Masjid-al-Harâm, if Allâh wills, secure, (some) having your heads shaved, and (some) having your head hair cut short, having no fear. He knew what you knew not, and He granted besides that a near victory.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
27. 1 Before the incident of Hudaybiyyah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw in a dream that he, along with the Muslims, was entering the House of Allah and performing Tawaf and ‘Umrah. The dream of a prophet is also considered revelation. However, in this dream, it was not specified that this would happen in that same year. But the Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims, considering it a great glad tiding, immediately prepared for ‘Umrah and made a general announcement for it and set out. Eventually, at Hudaybiyyah, the treaty took place, the details of which have just been mentioned. Whereas, in Allah’s knowledge, the interpretation of this dream was for the following year, as in the next year the Muslims performed this ‘Umrah with complete peace, and Allah made His Messenger’s dream come true.
27. 2 That is, if the treaty had not taken place at Hudaybiyyah, then due to war, the weak Muslims residing in Makkah would have been harmed. Only Allah knew the benefits of this treaty.
27. 3 Besides the conquest of Khaybar and the conquest of Makkah, it also refers to the large number of people who became Muslim as a result of the treaty, because that too is a great kind of victory. At the time of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the Muslims were one and a half thousand; two years later, when the Muslims entered Makkah victoriously, their number was ten thousand.
