أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

يَسْئَلُونَكَ عَنِ اُلشَّهْرِ اُلْحَرَامِ قِتَالٍ فِيهِ = "Yas-a-lu~na Ka 'A-nisy-SYah-ril-Ha-ro~mi Qi-ta~linf~Fi~~h".  = "Yas-a-lu~na" = They ask, "Ka" = you, " 'A-ni" = about, "asy-SYah-ri" = the month of, "al-Ha-ro~mi" = the forbidden, Sacred, "Qi-ta~lin" = to do battle, to be at war, "Fi~" = in, "Hi" = it.

(This verse, "They asked you (O Muhammad) about making a war during the Forbidden Month" was revealed after the Prophet s.a.w. had sent out a small group of scout, of Eight Muhajirin/Meccans, in the month of Jumadil-Akhir. It was led by the Prophet's s.a.w. cousin, (his s.a.w. mother's side), Abdullah ibnu Jahsyun r.a.. He, Abdullah r.a. was given a letter by the Prophet s.a.w., to be opened and read to the group after Two days journey. And he r.a. was to go to the place which was written in the letter with the group. And the group was not to be forced to go with him r.a. 
After Two days travelling, he r.a. opened and read the letter to his r.a. group. They were to go to a place, Baton Nakhlah, to observe the movement of a Qureisy caravan there, and were to return and make a report to the Prophet s.a.w. The whole group went to Baton Nakhlah with him r.a. When they arrived at a place called Najron, Two of them, Sa'ad ibnu Abi Waqosh r.a. and 'Utbah ibnu Ghozawan went to search for their camels which got loose and ran away.
Abdullah ibnu Jahsyun r.a. went ahead with the remainder of his group to Baton Nakhlah, a place between Mecca and Toif, where they met a Caravan of Four persons, 'Umru bin Al-Hadhoromi  and Three others, carrying with them fruits, food and merchandise. In order not to have a fight, Abdullah ibnu Jahsyun r.a. asked one of his men to shave his head, a sign of peace and not hostility. 'Akasyah did the honour and shaved his head and went near the caravan. He was accepted by the members of the caravan without any suspicion.
Abdullah ibnu Jahsyun r.a., then discussed with his friends whether not to attack the caravan because that day was the last day of the month of Jumadil-Akhir, and the next day would be Rajjab, a Forbidden Month, one of the months when fighting was forbidden.
Waqid ibnu Abdullah Al-Sahmi, then let his arrow flew and killed 'Umru bin Al-Hadhromi. (He was the first infidel killed by a Muslim in the Islamic era). Two others were captured, while the other, Nawfal, escaped and ran home to Mecca. The Two captives and their property were brought back to Medina, to the Prophet s.a.w. While the Two companions, S'aad ibnu Waqosh and 'Utbah ibnu Ghozawan r.a. had lost their way and were captured by Meccan Quraisy.
When the Meccan Quraisy knew about their caravan was attacked: (to be continued).
