According to several mainstream Islamic scholars, the sword verse relates to a specific event in Islamic history — namely that Arabian pagans made and broke a covenant with Arabic Muslims. They claim the verses immediately preceding and following 9:5, 9:4 and 9:6, and emphasize: Only those pagans who broke the covenant were subject to violent repercussions so that any pagans who honored the covenant to profess Islam (convert to Islam), offer prayers, and pay the zakāt (compulsory donation to the poor) or repented their betrayal were to be spared. | According to several mainstream Islamic scholars, the sword verse relates to a specific event in Islamic history — namely that Arabian pagans made and broke a covenant with Arabic Muslims.
