Some of the Benefits gained from the Treaty at Al-Hudaybiyyah Allah the Exalted states that the Arab idolators from Quraysh and their allies who extended help to them against His Messenger,هُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواThey are those who disbelieved,i.e. they are indeed the disbelievers,وَصَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِand hindered you from Al-Masjid Al-Haram,i.e. `even though you are its people and more worthy of being responsible for it,'وَالْهَدْيَ مَعْكُوفًا أَن يَبْلُغَ مَحِلَّهُand detained the sacrificial animals, from reaching their place of sacrifice.i.e. they prevented, because of transgression and stubbornness, the sacrificial animals from being reached to the place where they would be slaughtered. There were seventy sacrificial camels designated for sacrifice, as we will mention, Allah willing.Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said,وَلَوْلَا رِجَالٌ مُّوْمِنُونَ وَنِسَاء مُّوْمِنَاتٌHad there not been believing men and believing women,i.e. `living among the Makkans hiding their faith for fearing for their safety from the pagans. Otherwise, We would have given you authority over the Makkans and you would have killed them to the brink of extermination. However, there were some faithful believers, men and women, living among them, about whom you had no knowledge of being believers and you might try to kill them.'Allah's statement,لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوهُمْ أَن تَطَوُوهُمْ فَتُصِيبَكُم مِّنْهُم مَّعَرَّةٌwhom you did not know, that you may kill them and on whose account a sin would have been committed by you, (an evil and erroneous act),بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ لِيُدْخِلَ اللَّهُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ مَن يَشَاءwithout (your) knowledge, that Allah might bring into His mercy whom He wills,that Allah might delay the punishment of the pagans of Makkah to save the believers who lived among them, and so that many of the idolators might embrace Islam.Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said,لَوْ تَزَيَّلُواif they had been apart,i.e. if the disbelievers and the believers who were living among them had been apart,لَعَذَّبْنَا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًاWe verily, would have punished with painful torment those of them who disbelieved.`We would have given you dominance over the disbelievers and you would have inflicted tremendous slaughter on them.'Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said
