[90:1] فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لا أُقْسِمُ...
[90:1] فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لا أُقْسِمُ بِهذَا الْبَلَدِ وَ أَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهذَا الْبَلَدِ وَ والِدٍ وَ ما وَلَدَ قَالَ يُعَظِّمُونَ الْبَلَدَ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا بِهِ وَ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ فِيهِ حُرْمَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) (In a Hadith, Imam -asws said), So Allah -azwj Blessed and High Said Indeed! I swear by this city [90:1] And you are a dweller of this city [90:2] And father and son [90:3] .
They (Muslims) were revering the city if they were to swear by it, but they permitted in it the (violation of) sanctity of Rasool-Allah -saww ’.
