أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا دَاوُدُ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَسْلَمَ ، ثُمَّ ارْتَدَّ وَلَحِقَ بِالشِّرْكِ ، ثُمَّ تَنَدَّمَ , فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ سَلُوا لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ فَجَاءَ قَوْمُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالُوا : إِنَّ فُلَانًا قَدْ نَدِمَ ، وَإِنَّهُ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَسْأَلَكَ هَلْ لَهُ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ فَنَزَلَتْ : كَيْفَ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ قَوْمًا كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمَانِهِمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ سورة آل عمران آية 86 - 89 , فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمَ " .
´It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:` "A man from among the Ansar accepted Islam, then he apostatized and went back to Shirk. Then he regretted that, and sent word to his people (saying): 'Ask the Messenger of Allah [SAW], is there any repentance for me?' His people came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and said: 'So and so regrets (what he did), and he has told us to ask you if there is any repentance for him?' Then the Verses: 'How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their Belief up to His saying: Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful' was revealed. So he sent word to him, and he accepted Islam."
