O you who confirmed Allah and His Messenger and acted by His law, Allah will surely test you with something from the catch approaching you in a manner other than the usual where you are capable on taking its small ones without a weapon and taking its big ones with the weapon; so that Allah knows a knowledge manifest to the creation who fear their Lord in the unseen, for their certainty in the perfection of His knowledge of them, and that by their withholding from the catch, while they are in the state of Ihram. Then whoever transgressed his limit after this clarification then embarks on the catch-while he is in Ihram-then indeed he deserves the severe punishment.
