www.quranbrowser.com displays up to ten parallel translations of the Koran in tabular form for easy comparison. www.qtafsir.com has an alpha numeric search engine for Ibn Kathir's Tafsir so that you can look up the exegeses of most verses. www.scribid.com has a scanned image of Reliance of the Traveller with a search engine. You'd do well to read Book O, Chapter 9 in its entirety. The Muslim Student Association at USC hosts a Compendium of Islamic Texts where you will find the four major collections of hadith. Turn to Sahih Bukhari and read Books 52, 53 & 59. You will find that they confirm the content of Surahs 8 & 9.

Now compare 8:39 & 9:29 to Sahih Bukhari 1.8.387. Do they or do they not form a congruent pattern? How does Ibn Kathir's Tafsir of 9:29 fit into that pattern? Now look up O9.8 in Reliance; is it congruent with the pattern? You can find those quotes and more in my series on Jihad which starts here.
