O believers! Do not violate Allah’s rituals ˹of pilgrimage˺, the sacred months, the sacrificial animals, the ˹offerings decorated with˺ garlands, nor those ˹pilgrims˺ on their way to the Sacred House seeking their Lord’s bounty and pleasure. When pilgrimage has ended, you are allowed to hunt. Do not let the hatred of a people who once barred you from the Sacred Mosque provoke you to transgress. Cooperate with one another in goodness and righteousness, and do not cooperate in sin and transgression. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is severe in punishment.
Explanation
These amount to the same meaning, though the first readings (with an) indicate more clearly that this act of barring from the Sacred Mosque had already occurred. *Note that the phrase shanʾānu qawm (with unvowelled ‘n’) may also be understood as “the hateful person within a community” [al-Mahdawi].
