وَأَذَٰنٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَجِّ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَرِيٓءٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُۥۚ فَإِن تُبۡتُمۡ فَهُوَ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمۡ غَيۡرُ مُعۡجِزِي ٱللَّهِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
3. Announcement from Allāh and His messenger to the people on the day of the greater Pilgrimage (the day of Sacrifice) that Allāh is disassociated from the pagans and (so is) His messenger. So if you (pagans) repent, it is better for you, but if you turn away (and not comply), then know that you cannot escape Allāh, and announce to the disbelievers of a painful torment .

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَنقُصُوكُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَمۡ يُظَٰهِرُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَحَدٗا فَأَتِمُّوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِمۡ عَهۡدَهُمۡ إِلَىٰ مُدَّتِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ
4. Excepted are those of the pagans with whom you made a treaty, then they have not failed you in anything, nor have they supported any one against you, so fulfill their treaty with them until 'the end of' their term. Indeed, Allāh loves the righteous.

فَإِذَا ٱنسَلَخَ ٱلۡأَشۡهُرُ ٱلۡحُرُمُ فَٱقۡتُلُواْ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ حَيۡثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمۡ وَخُذُوهُمۡ وَٱحۡصُرُوهُمۡ وَٱقۡعُدُواْ لَهُمۡ كُلَّ مَرۡصَدٖۚ فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ
5. When the sacred months are over [1], slay the (warring) pagans [2] wherever you find them. Capture, besiege, and ambush them. But if they repent, keep up the prayer, and pay the poor-rate, then leave their way free. Indeed, Allāh is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[1]. The periods of truce i.e., Muḥarram, Rajab, Dhul-Qaʿdah, and Dhul-Ḥijjah in the Islamic calendar.
[2]. This applies especially to combatant pagans who broke the peace treaty and posed a threat to Muslims.

وَإِنۡ أَحَدٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ٱسۡتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرۡهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسۡمَعَ كَلَٰمَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَبۡلِغۡهُ مَأۡمَنَهُۥۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٞ لَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ
6. If any of the pagans seek asylum from you, grant him it, so that he may hear the Words of God [3], then escort him to his place of safety. This is because they are a people who do not know (the Truth).
[3]. I.e., the Qur’an.
