Ward off with that which is better that is to say with the better trait of pardoning and shunning them the evil act the hurt they cause you — this was revealed before the command to fight them. We know best what they allege what they invent of lies and what they say and so We will requite them for it.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Repel evil with that which is better) repel by means of " there is no god except Allah " the expression of idolatry which is coming from Abu Jahl and his host; and it is also said that this means: repel from yourself their indecent talk through the greeting of peace. (We are best Aware of that which they allege) of lies.
