远征塔布克使安拉的使者ﷺ得以巩固国家的边境，这让敌人开始认真对待这个国家。它也为他ﷺ之后的所有继任者树立了榜样，让他们效仿，将伊斯兰的讯息传播到外部世界。

The raid on Tabuk enabled the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) to secure the frontiers of the State which led the enemies to take the State seriously. It also set the example for all of his (pbuh) successors to emulate in order to carry the Message of Islam to the outside world.

当安拉的使者(愿主赐其福安)从塔布克远征归来后,半岛南部的整个地区,包括也门、哈达拉毛和阿曼,纷纷前来向他宣布归信伊斯兰。他们臣服于伊斯兰国的统治与权威之下。

As soon as Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) returned from the raid on Tabuk the whole of the south of the Peninsula from Yemen, Hadramaut and ‘Oman came and declared their Islam to him. They submitted to the rule and authority of the Islamic State.

在伊斯兰历九年，使团急切地前往安拉的使者ﷺ处，宣布他们及其族人皈依伊斯兰。这标志着伊斯兰国对阿拉伯半岛的全面主导。唯一残存的内部威胁是多神教徒。由于安拉的使者ﷺ与他们订立的协议，他们仍被允许继续崇拜偶像，并前往安拉的圣殿朝觐。协议规定，不得阻止人们前往圣殿，也不得在圣月期间伤害他们。

In the ninth year of Hijrah, the delegates anxiously went to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) to declare their Islam and that of their people. This marked the total dominance of the Islamic State over the Arabian Peninsula. The only internal threat which remained were the polytheists who had been allowed to continue worshipping their idols and performing the pilgrimage to the Sacred House of Allah due to the agreement that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) had made with them. The agreement stated that the people were not to be forbidden from visiting the Sacred House, nor were they to be harmed during the sacred months.

然而，这种局面不可能long-term持续下去。试想，圣殿怎能容纳信仰相互对立、彼此轻视的人群？当其中一方信仰已导致另一方的偶像被毁时，两种对立的信仰又怎能聚集在真主的殿宇周围？更为严重的是，难道能任由反对信仰的信众自行其是，而其余社会已臣服于伊斯兰国的权威与真主的独一性吗？显然，多神信仰已成为不合时宜之物，并对社会的统一构成威胁，因此必须将其根除。关于多神教徒，真主（SWT）在塔布克远征之后、艾布·伯克尔领导的朝觐已经开始时，将《忏悔章》降示给安拉的使者ﷺ。安拉的使者ﷺ召见阿里·本·艾比·塔利卜，命他与艾布·伯克尔一同前往麦加，并指示他向众人宣读这段新的启示。阿里前往那里，与众人会面。随后，他与艾布·胡莱赖①并肩而立，起身诵读《古兰经》：

However, this state of affairs could not be allowed to last, for how could it be that the Sacred House would be able to play host to people of contradictory beliefs, one despising the other? How would it be possible for two conflicting beliefs to come together around the House of Allah when one of those beliefs had led to the destruction of the others’ idols? More seriously still, could the adherents of the opposing faith be left to their own devices while the rest of society had submitted to the authority of the Islamic State and the oneness of Allah I? Clearly, polytheism had become an anachronism and a danger to the unity of society and thus it had to be eradicated. Concerning the polytheists, Allah (swt) revealed the Surah of al-Taubah to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) after the raid on Tabuk and once the Hajj led by Abu Bakr was underway. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) summoned ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib and asked him to join Abu Bakr in Makkah where he was instructed to address the people with the new revelation. ‘Ali went there and met with the people. Then he, with Abu Hurayrah next to him, arose and recited from the Qur’an,

“从安拉和祂的使者那里，向你们与之订立盟约的以物配主者宣告解除一切义务。”（忏悔章，9:1）

“Freedom from all obligations (is declared) from Allah and His Messenger to those of the “Mushrikun”, with whom you made a treaty.” [At-Tauba, 9:1].

直到他读到真主(SWT)所说的那一处经文为止,

until he reached the point where Allah (swt) says,

“你们当普遍地与以物配主者作战，正如他们普遍地与你们作战一样。你们应当知道，真主与敬畏者同在。”（忏悔章 9:36）

“And fight against the Mushrikun collectively, as they fight against you collectively. But know that Allah is with those who are Al-Muttaqun.” [At-Tauba, 9:36].

当阿里诵读完这些经文后,他停顿了一会儿,然后大声说道:"众人啊,确实,没有不信道者能进入乐园;今年之后,不允许任何多神教徒朝觐,也不允许任何人赤身裸体绕天房转圈。此后,除了与安拉的使者ﷺ订有约定、约定期限内有效的人之外,不再有任何盟约;他们的约定可以持续到规定的期限。"阿里宣布了这四项命令,然后给了众人四个月的时间返回各自的家园。那一年之后,再也没有任何多神教徒朝觐,也没有任何人赤身裸体绕天房转圈。

When ‘Ali finished reciting these verses he paused for awhile and then shouted, “O people, verily no disbeliever will enter paradise, no polytheist will go on pilgrimage after this year and nobody should circumambulate the House naked. Afterwards there will be no covenant except for those who had an agreement with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) for a period, he can have it for that specified period.” ‘Ali declared these four orders and then he gave the people four months in which to return to their homes. Never again after that year did any polytheist go on the pilgrimage nor did anyone ever circumambulate the Sacred House naked.

随着新建立的伊斯兰国家的运作,安拉的话语已经遍及整个阿拉伯半岛。这个国家当时是、并且始终是以创造者安拉(swt)所启示的伊斯兰信仰(‘Aqeedah)为根基的。随着最后一章《忏悔章》(Surah Bara'ah,又称Taubah)的降示,阿拉伯半岛上的多神崇拜被彻底废除,伊斯兰国家也得以奠基并确立,至此大功告成。一切与伊斯兰相悖的思想都被清除,伊斯兰国家以外的一切权威也都被扫除殆尽。由此,将伊斯兰的讯息传递给全人类的基础便被牢牢奠定了。

The Word of Allah had now engulfed the whole of the Arabian Peninsula through the agency of the newly established Islamic State which was, and remained, based on the Islamic ‘Aqeedah as revealed by the Creator, Allah (swt). With the revelation of Surah Bara’ah (Taubah) , the last Surah, the abolition of polytheism in the Arabian Peninsula and the founding and establishment of the Islamic State was complete. All thoughts contradictory to Islam were eradicated, and all authorities other than the Islamic State were wiped away. The grounds for carrying the Message of Islam to the rest of mankind were thus firmly laid.
