Al-Fath 48:25 هم الذين كفروا وصدوكم عن المسجد الحرام والهدي معكوفا ان يبلغ محله ولولا رجال مومنون ونساء مومنات لم تعلموهم ان تطيوهم فتصيبكم منهم معرة بغير علم ليدخل الله في رحمته من يشاء لو تزيلوا لعذبنا الذين كفروا منهم عذابا اليما ٢٥

They are the ones who persisted in disbelief and hindered you from the Sacred Mosque, preventing the sacrificial animals from reaching their destination.¹ ˹We would have let you march through Mecca,˺ had there not been believing men and women, unknown to you. You might have trampled them underfoot, incurring guilt for ˹what you did to˺ them unknowingly. That was so Allah may admit into His mercy whoever He wills.² Had those ˹unknown˺ believers stood apart, We would have certainly inflicted a painful punishment on the disbelievers.
