The Holy Quran 48:25 — Surah Al-Fath

Arabic text

هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَٱلْهَدْىَ مَعْكُوفًا أَن يَبْلُغَ مَحِلَّهُۥ ۚ وَلَوْلَا رِجَالٌ مُّؤْمِنُونَ وَنِسَآءٌ مُّؤْمِنَـٰتٌ لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوهُمْ أَن تَطَـُٔوهُمْ فَتُصِيبَكُم مِّنْهُم مَّعَرَّةٌۢ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۖ لِّيُدْخِلَ ٱللَّهُ فِى رَحْمَتِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ لَوْ تَزَيَّلُوا۟ لَعَذَّبْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا

Translation

They (the Mushrikeen of Makkah) are the ones who committed kufr, prevented you (Muslims) from (performing Umrah at) the Masjidul Haraam and (prevented) the sacrificial animals (which the Muslims brought to be sacrificed after Umrah), (leaving them) restrained (prevented) from reaching their destination (where they were to be sacrificed). If it were not for your trampling (unintentionally harming) many Muslim men and many Muslim women (in Makkah) about whom you were unaware and then unknowingly suffering harm on their account (for harming them), the matter would have been concluded (you would have been allowed to fight the Mushrikeen). (However, a battle did not take place) So that Allaah enters whoever He wills into His mercy (by allowing them to accept Islaam). If they (these Muslim men and women still in Makkah) were to separate (from the Mushrikeen of Makkah), We would inflict a painful punishment on the Kuffaar of Makkah (by allowing the Muslims to kill or capture them in battle).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

كفار قريش هم الذين جحدوا توحيد الله، وصدُّوكم يوم «الحديبية» عن دخول المسجد الحرام، ومنعوا الهدي، وحبسوه أن يبلغ محل نحره، وهو الحرم. ولولا رجال مؤمنون مستضعفون ونساء مؤمنات بين أظهر هؤلاء الكافرين بـ «مكة»
