Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: This verse was revealed: "Do not marry polytheist women until they believe," so people held back from them, until the verse after it was revealed: "This day all good things have been made lawful for you," "and chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Book before you." So people married women of the People of the Book.
At-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
