48:24

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى كَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُم بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَنْ أَظْفَرَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرًا

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole unrooted proper name follows interior of and locates God's mutual restraint of hands after granting the believers advantage. The artifact records only that Quranic event relation and adds no external geography.
