Al-Hajj 22:25
The Pilgrimage · Juz 17 · Page 335
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلۡنَٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلۡعَٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلۡبَادِۚ وَمَن يُرِدۡ فِيهِ بِإِلۡحَادِۭ بِظُلۡمٖ نُّذِقۡهُ مِنۡ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٖ ٢٥
Indeed, those who have disbelieved and avert [people] from the way of Allāh and [from] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, which We made for the people - equal are the resident therein and one from outside - and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein1 of deviation [in religion] by wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.

- Whether inside its boundaries or intending from afar to do evil therein. The Ḥaram is unique in that the mere intention of sin therein (whether or not it is actually carried out) is sufficient to bring punishment from Allāh. ↩

Commentary on 22:25
﴿إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ﴾ خبره محذوف يدل عليه قوله ﴿نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ﴾، وقيل: الخبر ﴿وَيَصُدُّونَ﴾ على زيادة الواو، وهذا ضعيف، وإنما قال: ﴿يَصُدُّونَ﴾ بلفظ المضارع ليدل على الاستمرار على الفعل ﴿سَوَآءً﴾ بالرفع مبتدأ وخبره مقدر، والجملة في موضع المفعول الثاني لجعلنا، وقرأ حفص بالنصب على أنه المفعول الثاني والعاكف فاعل به ﴿ٱلْعَاكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلْبَادِ﴾ العاكف المقيم في البلد: والبادي القادم عليه من غيره، والمعنى: أن الناس سواء في المسجد الحرام، لا يختص به أحد دون أحد وذلك إجماع، وقال أبو حنيفة: حكم سائر مكة في ذلك كالمسجد الحرام، فيجوز للقادم أن ينزل منها حيث شاء، وليس لأحد فيها ملك، والمراد عنده بالمسجد الحرام جميع مكة، وقال مالك وغيره: ليست الدور في ذلك كالمسجد، بل هي متملكة ﴿بِإِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ﴾ الإلحاد الميل عن الصواب، والظلم هنا عام في المعاصي من الكفر إلى الصغائر، لأن الذنوب في مكة أشدّ منها في غيرها، وقيل: هو استحلال الحرام، ومفعول ﴿يُرِدْ﴾ محذوف تقديره: من يرد أحداً أو من يرد شيئاً، ﴿بِإِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ﴾: حالان مترادفان، وقيل: المفعول قوله بإلحاد على زيادة الباء.

وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيِّبِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ ٢٤
And they had been guided [in worldly life] to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy.
22:25
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلۡنَٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلۡعَٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلۡبَادِۚ وَمَن يُرِدۡ فِيهِ بِإِلۡحَادِۭ بِظُلۡمٖ نُّذِقۡهُ مِنۡ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٖ ٢٥

22:26
وَإِذۡ بَوَّأۡنَا لِإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ مَكَانَ ٱلۡبَيۡتِ أَن لَّا تُشۡرِكۡ بِي شَيۡـٔٗا وَطَهِّرۡ بَيۡتِيَ لِلطَّآئِفِينَ وَٱلۡقَآئِمِينَ وَٱلرُّكَّعِ ٱلسُّجُودِ ٢٦
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when We designated for Abraham the site of the House, [saying], "Do not associate anything with Me and purify My House for those who perform ṭawāf1 and those who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate.

وَأَذِّن فِي ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡحَجِّ يَأۡتُوكَ رِجَالٗا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٖ يَأۡتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٖ ٢٧
And proclaim to the people the ḥajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass -
22:28
لِّيَشۡهَدُواْ مَنَٰفِعَ لَهُمۡ وَيَذۡكُرُواْ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ فِيٓ أَيَّامٖ مَّعۡلُومَٰتٍ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّنۢ بَهِيمَةِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِۖ فَكُلُواْ مِنۡهَا وَأَطۡعِمُواْ ٱلۡبَآئِسَ ٱلۡفَقِيرَ ٢٨
That they may witness [i.e., attend] benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allāh on known [i.e., specific] days over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals.1 So eat of them and feed the miserable and poor.

22:29
ثُمَّ لۡيَقۡضُواْ تَفَثَهُمۡ وَلۡيُوفُواْ نُذُورَهُمۡ وَلۡيَطَّوَّفُواْ بِٱلۡبَيۡتِ ٱلۡعَتِيقِ ٢٩
Then let them end their untidiness and fulfill their vows and perform ṭawāf around the ancient House."
22:30
ذَٰلِكَۖ وَمَن يُعَظِّمۡ حُرُمَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيۡرٞ لَّهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦۗ وَأُحِلَّتۡ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمُ إِلَّا مَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلرِّجۡسَ مِنَ ٱلۡأَوۡثَٰنِ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ قَوۡلَ ٱلزُّورِ ٣٠
That [has been commanded], and whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allāh - it is best for him in the sight of his Lord. And permitted to you are the grazing livestock, except what is recited to you.1 So avoid the uncleanliness of idols and avoid false statement,
