Tafsir
O you who believe God will surely try you He will surely test you with some game which He releases to you the smaller of which will be caught by your hands and the larger of which by your lances this was in the plain of al-Hudaybiyya; while they were in the state of pilgrimage inviolability beasts and birds would flock to their caravans; so that God may know through knowledge outwardly manifested who fears Him in the Unseen bi’l-ghayb is a circumstantial qualifier in other words while He is absent to the eyes one who does not see Him but nonetheless avoids hunting game. Whoever transgresses thereafter after that prohibition against it and hunts his shall be a painful chastisement.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
Then Allah revealed the unlawfulness of game in the year of al-Hudaybiyyah, saying: (O ye who believe) in Muhammad and the Qur'an! (Allah will surely try you somewhat (in the matter) of the game) He will test you regarding the game you pursue on land (which ye take) of their eggs and little ones (with your hands and your spears) to catch wild animals in the year of al-Hudaybiyyah, (that Allah may know) that Allah may see (him who feareth Him in secret) and thus leave the game. (Whoso transgresseth) intentionally (after this) after Allah has decreed the requital and ruling of this, (for him there is a painful doom) a painful beating which will extend to his back and belly.
