Quran 9:6 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
And if any one of the idolaters ahadun ‘one’ is in the nominative because of the following verb istajāraka ‘seeks your protection’ that validates it seeks your protection requests security from you against being killed then grant him protection provide security for him so that he might hear the words of God — the Qur’ān — and afterward convey him to his place of security that is the dwelling-places of his folk if he does not believe so that he might reflect upon his situation — that which is mentioned is because they are a people who do not know the religion of God and so they must be made to hear the Qur’ān in order to come to know religion.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
If anyone of the Pagans seeks your protection O Muhammad, then protect him and grant him asylum; he may open his hearts ears to Allahs discourse. Escort him to where he will be out of harms way. They are people deficient in sense and intelligence; they are simpletons
Quran 9:6 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Idolators are granted Safe Passage if They seek It
Allah said to His Prophet, peace be upon him,
وَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
( And if anyone of the Mushrikin ), whom you were commanded to fight and We allowed you their blood and property,'
اسْتَجَارَكَ
( seeks your protection ), asked you for safe passage, then accept his request until he hears the Words of Allah, the Qur'an.
Recite the Qur'an to him and mention a good part of the religion with which you establish Allah's proof against him,
ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْهُ مَأْمَنَهُ
( and then escort him to where he can be secure ) and safe, until he goes back to his land, his home, and area of safety,
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَعْلَمُونَ
( that is because they are men who know not. ) The Ayah says, `We legislated giving such people safe passage so that they may learn about the religion of Allah, so that Allah's call will spread among His servants.
Ibn Abi Najih narrated that Mujahid said that this Ayah, "Refers to someone who comes to you to hear what you say and what was revealed to you ( O Muhammad ).
Therefore, he is safe until he comes to you, hears Allah's Words and then proceeds to the safe area where he came from." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to thereafter grant safe passage to those who came to him for guidance or to deliver a message.
On the day of Hudaybiyyah, several emissaries from Quraysh came to him, such as `Urwah bin Mas`ud, Mikraz bin Hafs, Suhayl bin `Amr and several others.
They came mediating between him and the Quraysh pagans.
They witnessed the great respect the Muslims had for the Prophet , which astonished them, for they never before saw such respect for anyone, kings nor czars.
They went back to their people and conveyed this news to them; this, among other reasons, was one reason that most of them accepted the guidance.
When Musaylimah the Liar sent an emissary to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he asked him, "Do you testify that Musaylimah is a messenger from Allah" He said, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«لَوْلَا أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ لَا تُقْتَلُ لَضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَك»
( I would have cut off your head, if it was not that emissaries are not killed. ) That man, Ibn An-Nawwahah, was later beheaded when `Abdullah bin Mas`ud was the governor of Al-Kufah.
When it became known that he still testified that Musaylimah was a messenger from Allah, Ibn Mas`ud summoned him and said to him, "You are not delivering a message now!" He commanded that Ibn An-Nawwahah be decapitated, may Allah curse him and deprive him of His mercy.
In summary, those who come from a land at war with Muslims to the area of Islam, delivering a message, for business transactions, to negotiate a peace treaty, to pay the Jizyah, to offer an end to hostilities, and so forth, and request safe passage from Muslim leaders or their deputies, should be granted safe passage, as long as they remain in Muslim areas, until they go back to their land and sanctuary.
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(9:6) And if any of the mushriks requests you for protection so that he may come to you (to hear the Word of Allah), give him protection till he hears the Word of Allah; then convey him. to the place of his safety: this should be done because these people do not know the Truth. *8
And if any one of the polytheists meaning
*8) That is, " lf during a fight, an enemy makes a request that he should be given an opportunity to understand Islam, the Muslims should give him a surety of protection and allow him to visit them.
They should then present Islam before him in order to make him understand it.
If, after this, he dces not embrace Islam, they should convey him safely to his place " .
Such a person who comes to Dar-ul-Islam under the above mentioned protection is called musta'min in the Islamic Code.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad ), then protect him so that he may hear the word of Allah) so that he may hear your recitation of the words of Allah; ( and afterward convey him to his place of safety ) to the place he is going, if he remains an unbeliever. ( That ) which I have mentioned ( is because they are a folk who know not ) Allah’s command and His divine Oneness.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And if anyone of the Mushrikun (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) seeks your protection then grant him protection, so that he may hear the Word of Allah (the Quran), and then escort him to where he can be secure, that is because they are men who know not.
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
