﴿ وَأَنتَ حِلٌّۢ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ﴾

“this land in which thou art free to dwell -”

and you have free disposal of this city;This means: �On the day of the conquest of Mecca, We made it legitimate for you, so that you could kill whomever you wished among the disbelievers�, just as the Prophet said: �It was never made legitimate for anyone before, nor will it be made legitimate to anyone after me. However, it was made legitimate for me just for one hour in a day.� God, Exalted is He, swore by Mecca due to the fact that His Prophet resided there, as a way of honouring him and humiliating his enemies.
