Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad)) take the surplus of your family and dependents. But this was abrogated. It is also said that this means: forgive the one who transgresses against you, and give to him who withholds from you and keep ties with him who severs his ties with you, (and enjoin kindness) and benevolence, (and turn away from the ignorant) Abu Jahl and his folk who mock you.
