The Help — an-Nasr, the victory and the help of Allah. It is also called at-Tawdi', "the Farewell".
The story
When the Muslims finally won and everyone was becoming Muslim, Allah did not tell the Prophet ﷺ to celebrate. He told him to say alhamdulillah and to ask Allah for forgiveness. It was also Allah gently telling him his life was nearly over.
