Versículo: 199

ثُمَّ أَفِيضُواْ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ أَفَاضَ ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرُواْ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

(199) Then set forth^[333] from where people set forth, and seek Allah’s forgiveness^[334]—indeed He is the All-Pardoning, Most Merciful.

[333] The addressees are the Quraysh who, known as al-ḥums, held back from going to ʿArafāt and instead remained in Muzdalifah. Being the guardians and the tenders of the Holy Sanctuary they considered themselves a station above others, but after the advent of Islam, this command remedied the situation (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Shinqīṭī).
[334] That is istighfār (seeking forgiveness) for any shortcomings during the performance of Hajj.
