Ibn Abbas Commentary
(This) killing and shackling on the Day of Badr (is for that which thy two hands have sent before) is because of what your two hands did in your state of idolatry; Allah's words from: (And among mankind is he who disputeth concerning Allah without knowledge or guidance�) to (This is for that which your two hands have sent before) were revealed about al-Nadr Ibn al-Harth, (and because Allah is no oppressor of His slaves) such that He would punish them without them having committed any crime.
