Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Say: My slaves who have been prodigal to their own hurt) through disbelief, idolatry, adultery and murder! (Despair not of the mercy of Allah) despair not of Allah's forgiveness, (Who forgiveth all sins. Lo! He is the Forgiving) He forgives those who repent of disbelief and believe in Allah, (the Merciful) towards those who die repentant.
