His saying: "until they fight you therein" to His saying: "the disbelievers"

He replied: "May your mother be bereaved of you! Do you know what fitnah is? Indeed, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to fight the polytheists, and entering into [the religion] was a trial (fitnah); it is not your fighting over kingdom."
