Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh))
65/7.6. Chapter:
"Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., don't punish them)." (V.7:199)
Sahih Bukhari
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، {خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ} قَالَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ فِي أَخْلاَقِ النَّاسِ.
Narrated `Abdullah bin AzZubair: (The Verse) "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right..." was revealed by Allah except in connection with the character of the people.
