The Holy Quran 9:3 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

وَأَذَٰنٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَوْمَ ٱلْحَجِّ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَرِىٓءٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ۙ وَرَسُولُهُۥ ۚ فَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّكُمْ غَيْرُ مُعْجِزِى ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Translation

The proclamation from Allaah and His Rasool on the day of the greater Hajj (the five days of Hajj) is that verily Allaah and His Rasool have absolved (freed) themselves of all obligations towards the Mushrikeen (therefore, all previous treaties were cancelled). If you repent (from kufr and accept Islaam), it will be best for you. (However,) If you turn away (from Islaam) then know that you definitely cannot escape (the punishment of) Allaah. And give the Kuffaar the good news of a painful punishment (in both worlds).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

the Hajj is called the “greater Hajj” because Umrah is the “lesser Hajj”; and by يَوْمَ الْحَجِّ الْاَكْبَرِ (“on the day of the greater Hajj”) is meant the tenth day, the day of Eid al-Adha (the Festival of Sacrifice), or the ninth day, the Day of Arafah.
