﴿ لَقَدِ ٱبْتَغَوُا۟ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ مِن قَبْلُ وَقَلَّبُوا۟ لَكَ ٱلْأُمُورَ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَظَهَرَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَٰرِهُونَ ﴾

“Indeed, even before this time have they tried to stir up discord and devised all manner of plots against thee, [O Prophet,] until the truth was revealed and God's will became manifest, however hateful this may have been to them.”

(Aforetime) before the battle of Tabuk (they sought to cause sedition) they sought to cause you evil things (and raised difficulties for you) right and left (till the Truth came) until the believers became many (and the decree of Allah) the religion of Allah: Islam (was made manifest, though they were loth) of it.
