وَمَا لَهُمْ أَلاَّ يُعَذِّبَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ عَنِ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ وَمَا كَانُوۤاْ أَوْلِيَآءَهُ إِنْ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُ إِلاَّ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

But what [plea] have they now, that God should not chastise them, with the sword, after your departure and that of the oppressed [believers] — if this [verse] is understood in accordance with the first opinion [that it refers to the idolaters asking forgiveness], then it abrogates the previous one, for God had chastised them at Badr and in other instances — when they bar, prevent the Prophet (s) and the Muslims, from the Sacred Mosque, [from] performing circumambulations there, though they are not its guardians?, as they claim? Its only [rightful] guardians are the God-fearing, but most of them do not know, that they have no [rightful] custodianship over it.
