[Machine] Narrated Ibn Abbas, regarding the saying of Allah, "And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger (Muhammad), you see their eyes overflowing with tears" [Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:83]. He said, "Indeed, they were desert dwellers, meaning nomads, who came with Ja'far ibn Abi Talib from Abyssinia. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the Quran, they believed and their eyes overflowed with tears. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Perhaps when you return to your land, you will change your religion.' They said, 'We will never change our religion.' So Allah revealed this from their statement."  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ ﷻ {وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ تَرَى أَعْيُنَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ} قَالَ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا نَوَّاتِينَ يَعْنِي مَلَّاحِينَ قَدِمُوا مَعَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مِنَ الْحَبَشِ فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْقُرْآنَ آمَنُوا وَفَاضَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَعَلَّكُمْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَى أَرْضِكُمُ انْتَقَلْتُمْ عَنْ دِينِكُمْ» فَقَالُوا لَنْ نَنْتَقِلَ عَنْ دِينِنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ
