Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran - Surah Al-Baqarah, ayah 198

Translation of Surah Al-Baqarah, ayah 198 (2:198)

لَيۡسَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَبۡتَغُواْ فَضۡلٗا مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡۚ فَإِذَآ أَفَضۡتُم مِّنۡ عَرَفَٰتٖ فَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عِندَ ٱلۡمَشۡعَرِ ٱلۡحَرَامِۖ وَٱذۡكُرُوهُ كَمَا هَدَىٰكُمۡ وَإِن كُنتُم مِّن قَبۡلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ١٩٨

There is no blame on you for seeking the bounty of your Lord ˹during this journey˺.¹ When you return from ’Arafât,² praise Allah near the sacred place³ and praise Him for having guided you, for surely before this ˹guidance˺ you were astray.
