What is the interpretation of the Hadith: "Indeed, Allah commanded me to burn Quraysh, so I said: 'My Lord! Then they will smash my head and call it bread.' He said: 'Drive them out as they drove you out, and fight them; We will fight with you…')?
What was mentioned is part of a long narrated by Muslim and others, beginning with: "...Indeed, I have sent you to test you and to test others through you, and I have revealed to you a Book that water cannot wash away; you recite it whether asleep or awake. And indeed, Allah has commanded me to burn Quraysh." So I said: 'My Lord, then they will smash my head and leave it like a loaf of bread...'" This passage means that Allah commanded His Prophet to fight the disbelievers of Quraysh and promised him victory. In Mirqat al-Mafatih, "[And indeed, Allah has commanded me to burn Quraysh]" means to destroy their disbelievers, and that Allah will grant victory to the Prophet and provide for him if he spends in His cause.
