Al Baqarah

HR Background

ثُمَّ اَفِیْضُوْا مِنْ حَیْثُ اَفَاضَ النَّاسُ وَ اسْتَغْفِرُوا اللّٰهَؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(199)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Then, ˹O people of Quraysh,˺ return from the very area others return from,[1] and seek forgiveness from Allah; indeed, Allah is Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

Commentary

[1]

The people of Quraysh would choose to stop in Muzdalifah instead of joining others in ʿArafāt. After others would leave ʿArafāt, the Quraysh would only then set off from Muzdalifah, as a display of exclusive superiority. This verse commands the Quraysh to be like everyone else. Islamic laws do not change for tribes or social ranks; rich or poor, white or black, Arab or non-Arab, and all people are equal in following the rulings of Islam.
