Dieu a fait de la Caaba une maison sacrée destinée à être une station pour les hommes ; il a établi un mois sacré (dhoul-hidjdja) et l’offrande de la brebis, et les ornements suspendus aux victimes, afin que vous sachiez qu’il connait tout ce qui se passe dans les cieux et sur la terre, qu’il connait toutes choses. Apprenez aussi que Dieu est terrible dans ses châtiments, mais en même temps indulgent et miséricordieux.
