Moulavi Gerágh Ali, A Critical Exposition of the Popular 'Jihád'…
“ Out of the above, the verses containing the words "Jahd" and Johd,"—i.e., v, 58; vi, 109; xvi, 40; xxiv, 52; xxxv, 40; and ix, 80, marked *, are altogether out of dispute, as in all the former passages, except the last one, its obvious meaning is "most" or utmost solemn oaths, [1] or most "energetic" oaths or strongest or most forcible oaths, [2] and the latter signifies small provisions upon which a man possessing a little property can live with difficulty. The rest are of two kinds—first, the verses occurring in the Meccan Suras. ”
