It was they who were bent on denying the truth , and who debarred you from the Sacred Mosque and who prevented your offering from reaching its place of sacrifice . And had it not been for the believing men and believing women [ in Makkah ] whom you might unwittingly have trampled underfoot , and on whose account you might have , unknowingly , become guilty , [ God would have commanded you to fight it out with them ; but He ordained it thus ] so that He may bring whoever He will into His mercy .
