A verse that doesn't apply until the return of Imam (as,ajtf)

وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لاَ تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لِلّه فَإِنِ انتَهَوْاْ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ {39}


“And fight them till there be no mischief; and the religion is wholly Allah’s” (8:39)

Shaykh Al-Kulayni narrated from Ali bin Ibrahim, from his father, from bn Abi Umair, from Omar bin Odhaina, from Mohammad bin Muslim, who said:

I asked Imam Baqir (as) about the verse, “And fight them till there be no mischief; and the religion is wholly Allah’s” (8:39)

The Imam (as) replied:

The Ta’weel of this verse does not apply yet. The Messenger of Allah (S) allowed people to stop fighting because of his circumstances and those of the people. However, if this verse had applied to him, he would not have allowed them to stop (fighting) until everyone believed in monothism and polytheism was destroyed.

Al Kafi 8:201

Ayyashi narrated through his Isnaad from Zorara, from Imam Sadiq (as), who said:

My father was asked about the verse, “And fight them till there be no mischief; and the religion is wholly Allah’s” (8:39).

He replied:

The Ta’weel of this verse does not apply yet. Those who see the rising of our Qa’em (as) will see the Ta’weel of this verse. The religion of Mohammad (S) will prevail everywhere and there will not be any polytheism on the land, just as Allah says. (Tafseer Al-Ayyashi 2:55, Tafseer Majma’ Al-Bayaan 4:543)
