Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And of men) there are also different colours (and beasts) there are different kinds of beasts (and cattle, in like manner, diverse hues) there are different kinds of cattle? (The erudite among His bondsmen fear Allah alone) He says: from among all His servants, it is the erudite who fears Allah. (Lo! Allah is Mighty) in His dominion and kingdom, (Forgiving) He forgives whoever believes in Him.

And of humans and beasts and cattle there are diverse hues likewise like the diversity of the hues of fruits and mountains. Indeed only those of God’s servants who have knowledge fear Him in contrast to the ignorant such as the disbelievers of Mecca. Truly God is Mighty in His kingdom Forgiving of the sins of His faithful servants.
