The number of Surahs beginning with "Alhamdulillah" (All praise is due to Allah) is five: Al-Fatiha, Al-An'am, Al-Al-Kahf, Saba, and Fatir. The first verse revealed concerning jihad is: "Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged." The only companion whose name is explicitly mentioned in the Quran is Zayd ibn Haritha.
