It is they who disbelieved and turned you away from the Sacred Mosque and ( turned off ) the offering withheld from arriving at its destined place ; and were it not for the believing men and the believing women , whom , not having known , you might have trodden down , and thus something hateful might have afflicted you on their account without knowledge-- so that Allah may cause to enter into His mercy whomsoever He pleases ; had they been widely separated one from another , We would surely have punished those who disbelieved from among them with a painful punishment .
