I will never disobey His command (amrah), nor will He ever abandon me (wa lan yuḥayyi‘anī).12 In his commentary on the peace verses, Sayyid Qutb selectively cited Qatadah’s opinion and ignored not only the other medieval commentators (i.e., al-Tabari, Ibn al-‘Arabi, Fakhr al-Razi), but also effectively disregarded the verses’ application at Hudaybiyyah.	cache/ajiss-970.pdf	txt/ajiss-970.txt
