عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ، كَانُوا قَدْ قَتَلُوا وَأَكْثَرُوا، وَزَنَوْا وَأَكْثَرُوا، فَأَتَوْا مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّ الَّذِي تَقُولُ وَتَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ لَحَسَنٌ، لَوْ تُخْبِرُنَا أَنَّ لِمَا عَمِلْنَا كَفَّارَةً، فَنَزَلَ {وَالَّذِينَ لا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللهُ إِلا بِالْحَقِّ وَلا يَزْنُونَ}[الفرقان: 68]، وَنَزَلَت: {قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ} [الزمر: 53].
Imepokewa kutoka kwa bin Abbas -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yao yeye na baba yake-: Yakwamba watu miongoni mwa washirikina walikuwa wameuwa watu, na wakakithirisha mauaji, na wakazini na wakikithirisha zinaa, wakamjia Muhammadi -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- wakasema: Hakika haya unayoyasema na kuwalingania watu ni mambo mazuri, ikiwa utatwambia juu ya haya tuliyoyafanya kama yana kafara, ikateremka kauli ya Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu: "Na wale ambao hawamuombi pamoja na Mwenyezi Mungu mungu mwingine na wala hawauwi nafsi aliyoiharamisha Mwenyezi Mungu isipokuwa kwa haki na wala hawazini" [Al-Furqan: 68], na ikateremka: "Sema: Enyi waja wangu waliojidhulumu nafsi zao! Msikate tamaa na rehema ya Mwenyezi Mungu..." [Az-Zumar: 53].
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A group of polytheists, who went to excess in killing and committing illegal sexual intercourse, came to Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "What you say and invite people to is indeed good. If only you could tell us whether there is an expiation for what we did. Thereupon, it was revealed: {and those who do not invoke besides Allah, another god, and who do not kill a soul whom Allah has forbidden, except in the course of justice, and who do not commit adultery} [Surat al-Furqān: 68]. And the following verse was revealed: {Say [Allah says]: "O My slaves who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of Allah's mercy."} [Surat az-Zumar: 53]
Ubora wa Uislamu na utukufu wake nakuwa Uislamu unabomoa madhambi yaliyokuwa kabla yake.
Upana wa rehema ya Mwenyezi Mungu kwa waja wake na msamaha wake na kufuta kwake madhambi.
Uharamu wa ushirikina, na uharamu wa kuua nafsi bila hatia, na uharamu wa zinaa, na ahadi ya adhabu kwa atakayeyasogelea ama kujiingiza katika madhambi haya.
Toba ya kweli iliyoambatana na utakasifu (Ikhlaswi) na matendo mema, hufuta madhambi yote makubwa likiwemo la kumkufuru Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu.
Uharamu wa kukata tamaa na kunyongeka katika rehema za Mwenyezi Mungu Aliyetakasika na kutukuka.
