وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَوْلُهُ: " {وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ} [الحجر: ٩٤]، وَ {لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَيْطِرٍ} [الغاشية: ٢٢]، يَقُولُ: لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِجَبَّارٍ {فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاصْفَحْ} [المائدة: ١٣]، {وَإِنْ تَعْفُوا وَتَصْفَحُوا} [التغابن: ١٤]، {فَاعْفُوا وَاصْفَحُوا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللهُ بِأَمْرِهِ} [البقرة: ١٠٩]، {قُلْ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَغْفِرُوا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ أَيَّامَ اللهِ} [الجاثية: ١٤]، وَنَحْوُ هَذَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَمَرَ اللهُ بِالْعَفْوِ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَنَّهُ نَسْخَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ قَوْلُهُ: {فَاقْتُلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدْتُمُوهُمْ} [التوبة: ٥]، وَقَوْلُهُ: {قَاتِلُوا الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ} [التوبة: ٢٩] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {وَهُمْ صَاغِرُونَ} [التوبة: ٢٩]، فَنَسَخَ هَذَا الْعَفْوَ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ".
Through the same chain, it is reported from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said, concerning the statement of Allah Almighty, "And turn away from the polytheists" [Surah al-An'am: 106] and "You are not a controller over them" [Surah al-Ghashiyah: 22]: he said it means that you are not one who compels them. And likewise this statement: "So pardon them and overlook" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 13]; and similarly, "And if you pardon and overlook" [Surah al-Taghabun: 14]; and "So pardon and overlook until Allah brings His command" [Surah al-Baqarah: 109], that is, until Allah Almighty issues some other command of His; and this noble verse: "Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not hope for the days of Allah" [Surah al-Jathiyah: 14], i.e., you (peace and blessings be upon him) should tell the believers to overlook those who do not look forward to the days of Allah. And all such verses in the Noble Qur'an in which Allah Almighty commanded pardoning the polytheists - the pardoning of the polytheists in all of them was abrogated by this statement of Allah Almighty: "Kill the polytheists wherever you find them" [Surah al-Tawbah: 5], and this statement: "Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day" [Surah al-Tawbah: 29].
