Ibn Abbas Commentary

(O our people! respond to Allah's summoner) Muhammad (pbuh) in his call for belief in Allah's divine Oneness (and believe in Him. He will forgive you some of your sins) Allah will forgive you the sins you committed in the time of ignorance (and guard you from a painful doom) and save you from a painful torment.

O our people! Respond to God’s summoner Muhammad (s) by embracing faith and believe in him and He God will forgive you some of your sins because some of these sins are wrongs done to others and which therefore can only be forgiven after those wronged are reconciled — and shelter you from a painful chastisement.
