Commentary — Tafsīr al-Jalālayn
And mention when Abraham said ‘My Lord make this land Mecca secure — God granted him this petition and thus made it Mecca a sanctuary in which no human blood is shed no person is wronged prey is not hunted and one which is never deserted in any of its parts — and turn me and my sons away from serving idols.
