* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ وَمَا لَهُمْ أَلاَّ يُعَذِّبَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ عَنِ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَمَا كَانُوۤاْ أَوْلِيَآءَهُ إِنْ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُ إِلاَّ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ }

(What (plea) have they that Allah should not punish them) that Allah should not destroy them after you left them, (when they debar) Muhammad (pbuh) and his Companions (from the Inviolable Place of Worship) and circumambulate it in the year of al-Hudaybiyyah, (though they are not its fitting guardians) guardians of the Mosque. (Its fitting guardians are those only who keep their duty to Allah) those who ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies: i.e. Muhammad (pbuh) and his Companions. (But most of them) all of them (know not) this nor believe in it.
