Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And (bidding you): Ask pardon of your Lord) declare the divine Oneness of your Lord (and turn to Him repentant) betake yourselves to Him sincerely and repentant. (He will cause you to enjoy) He will make you live (a fair estate) free of chastisement (until a time appointed) i.e. death. (He giveth His bounty) in Islam (unto every bountiful one) his reward in the Hereafter. (But if ye turn away) from faith and repentance, (Lo! (then) I fear for you) I know that you shall incur (the retribution of an awful) a tremendous (Day).
