`Ukaz, Majanna and Dhul-Majaz were marketplaces in the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance. When
Islam came, Muslims felt that marketing there might be a sin. So, the Divine Inspiration came: "There
is no harm for you to seek the bounty of your Lord (in the seasons of Hajj)." (2.198) Ibn `Abbas
recited the Verse in this way.
