Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Friends) in sin, such as 'Uqbah Ibn Abi Ma'it and Ubayy Ibn Khalaf (on that day) on the Day of Judgement (will be foes one to another, save those who kept their duty (to Allah)) except those who ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies, such as Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, 'Ali and their fellow believers, for these are not like that.
