گوشه‌ای از سختی‌های جنگ تبوک

این آیه در بارة جنگ تبوک و سختی‌هایی که در آن جنگ به مسلمانان رسیدء نازل شده است. کار جنگ تا آنجا پیش رفت که گروهی تصمیم گرفتند که باز گردند؛ اما لطف خدا شامل حال آنها شد و از این تصمیم صرف‌نظر کردند. گوشه‌ای از سختی‌هایی که در این جنگ به مسلمانان رسیدء این است که هر ده نفر از مسلمانان یک شتر داشتند و به نوبت بر آن سوار می‌شدند و آذوقه‌شان آرد جو با سبوس و قدری خرمای فاسدو روغن گندیده بود و چند نفر از نها خرمای مختصری را که داشتند» بدین صورت مورد استفاده قرار می‌دادند که یکی از آنها خرمایی را در دهان می‌گذاشت و می‌مکید تا مزة آن را احساس کندء آنگاه آن را به دیگری می‌داد و جرعه‌ای آب می‌نوشیدء و این کار را ادامه می‌دادند تا آن‌که چیزی از خرما جز هسته‌اش باقی نمی‌ماند. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- کافی» ج۵» ص ۱۵ ۲ المیزان» چ۸ ص ۴۲۰ > ۳ نمونه» ج۰۸» ص ۱۵۱ و المیزان» ج۹» ص ۴۱۱ ۴ نمونهء ج۸» ص ۱۵۵ > ۵ المیزان» جچ۹ ص ۴۱۱ ۶- پیشین» ص ۴۲۲ > ۲ المیزان» چ۸ ص ۴۲۰ > ۴- نمونهء ج۸» ص ۱۵۵ > ۶- پیشین» ص ۴۲۲ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān, al-Kāfī.
