١٢٨٦٢ - حدثنا حفص عن ليث عن مجاهد عن ابن عباس قال: كل شيء في القرآن: "أو، أو" فهو فيه مخير، وكل شيء فيه: ﴿فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ﴾ [البقرة: ١٩٦]، فالذي يليه، فإن لم يجد فالذي يليه (١).
Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) states that wherever the word "aw" (or) appears in the Holy Qur'an, the servant has a choice, and wherever "fa man lam yajid" (so whoever does not find) appears, then he should act upon what comes after it, and if he does not find that, then he should act upon what comes after that.
