Its root in the classical dictionaries
البلد: المكان المحيط المحدود المتأثر باجتماع قطانه وإقامتهم فيه، وجمعه: بلاد وبلدان، قال عز وجل: لا أقسم بهذا البلد [البلد/ 1] ، قيل: يعني به مكة . قال تعالى:
قوله تعالى: ﴿لا أقسم بهذا البلد﴾ [البلد: 1]، يعني بها مكة شرفها الله تعالى. والمعنى: لا أقسم بها ﴿وأنت حل﴾ بها، أي لا يعظمونك حق تعظيمك، ولا يحترمونك حق حرمتك، فأنت كالحلال. وذلك تعظيم له من ربه عز وجل وقيل: معناه وعده بفتحها عليه. وقد أتقنا هذا في غير هذا الموضوع.
