9:3—This is a proclamation by God and His Messenger for mankind assembled on the day of the greater pilgrimage, to wit: God may dissolve treaty obligations with associators and so may His messenger. If you repent, then it will be better for you, while if you turn aside, know that you cannot escape God. Announce painful torment to those who disbelieve, except for those associators with whom you have already made a treaty, provided they have not failed you in any respect nor backed up anyone against you.
