Then he described them with what clarifies their oppression in a way that gathers them and connects them to Allah. He said: "Those who were expelled from their homes" to the people of the tribes, Abyssinia, and Medina "without right" that necessitated that "except that they say" meaning other than their saying, or except their saying: "Our Lord is Allah" who encompasses the attributes of perfection, necessitating their acknowledgment in their homes, and their love for Him, and their praise of Him, and following in His footsteps. So it is in the manner of: (p-57)

And there is no fault in them except that their swords are remnants from the clashes of the battalions.

And in the course of that context, the exception for those who make it disconnected indicates that whoever is sincere to Allah, the people direct their arrows of malice towards him, and they do not leave anything of their efforts in harming him.

And when he mentioned his defense, and mentioned that it is with the believers, he clarified its secret generally so that this specific matter may be understood from it, and he depicted it to approximate its understanding. He said, adding to what you estimate: If it were not for Allah's permission for them, polytheism would have continued to appear, and falsehood - by the dominance of the ignorant over the places of pilgrimage - would have prevailed: "And if it were not for the repulsion of Allah" meaning the One who encompasses everything in knowledge and power in every Sharia and in the time of every Prophet He sent, "the people" meaning generally "some of them against others" meaning by the dominance of some of them over others. "The monasteries would have been demolished" which are small elevated places of worship for the monks, "and churches" for the Christians, "and synagogues" meaning the places of worship for the Jews, "and mosques" meaning for the Muslims. He delayed it to be distant from destruction and close to mention: "In which the name of Allah is mentioned" meaning the King who has no king other than Him. And perhaps the shift from the implicit to the explicit is to indicate a difference that He mentioned in the places mentioned with sincerity and otherwise "a lot" because every group wants to demolish what belongs to the other, rather perhaps some of the people of a religion want to destroy some of the places of worship of their own religion, but Allah repels it with whom He wills from His servants. And if you contemplate that, you will find in it secrets that are beyond thoughts. For when He, glorified and exalted is He, intended corruption for most people, He appointed for them from the opposites that greatly alleviates much of the stubbornness.

And when the decree was: but the mentioned ones were not destroyed, because Allah repelled some of them by some, and made some of them in the throats of some, He referred to it or to His saying ﴿Permission has been granted﴾ [Al-Hajj: 39] His saying: ﴿And certainly Allah will aid﴾ meaning the Greatest King, and He made it clear and did not imply it, generalizing and linking the judgment to the description, so He said: ﴿Whoever aids him﴾ being whoever among them and others, by what He prepares for him of the means, conducting it according to the usual matter, and without means, breaking the norm, as occurred in many of the conquests, like the foray of Alaa ibn Al-Hadrami, may Allah be pleased with him, into the salty sea to Jawatha between the two seas, and the incursion of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him, into the Tigris with its greatness in that year and its height, and the shaking of the walls of Homs with the takbir and the collapse of many of its houses, despite the perfection of its construction, and the firmness of its foundations and corners, and so on; then He explained His aid even if the aided one was weak, by His saying: ﴿Indeed, Allah﴾ meaning the One who has no equal ﴿is surely Strong﴾ meaning over what He wills ﴿Mighty﴾ no one can overpower Him, and whoever is His supporter is the aided one, and His enemy is the subdued one, and indeed He has spoken the truth, glorified is He, in what He promised, so He humiliated by the supporters of His religion, may Allah be pleased with them, the tyrants of the people of the earth and their kings, and who is more truthful than Allah in speech.
