Bayhaqi 13886 — Evidence that the verse is restricted to the occasion

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، ثنا أَبُو جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ {وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ} [الشورى: ٢٥]، فَشَكَكْتُ فَلَمْ أَدْرِ كَيْفَ أَقْرَؤُهَا تَفْعَلُونَ أَوْ يَفْعَلُونَ، فَغَدَوْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ كَيْفَ أَقْرَؤُهَا، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَهُ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَزْنِي بِالْمَرْأَةِ، ثُمَّ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا، فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ: " {وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ} [الشورى: ٢٥] ".
Bukayr bin al-Akhnas narrates from his father: I recited this verse at night: "And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants, pardons misdeeds, and knows what you do." [Surah al-Shura: 25]
He says: I was in doubt and did not know whether it was "yaf'alun" (they do) or "taf'alun" (you do). In the morning I went to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), intending to ask him, but while I was sitting (with him) a man asked about a man who first commits zina with a woman and then marries her. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse to him: "And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants, pardons misdeeds, and knows what you do." [Surah al-Shura: 25]
