[Machine] He read Surah an-Nur and interpreted it. When he came across this verse, "Indeed, those who accuse chaste, unaware, believing women are cursed in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have a great punishment" he said, "This refers to Aisha and the Prophet's wives, and for those who committed such acts, repentance was not made available. However, for those who slandered a woman who is not one of the Prophet's wives, repentance is available." Then he recited, "And those who accuse chaste women and then do not produce four witnesses - lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony ever after. And those are the defiantly disobedient." "Repentance is made available for these people." "Except for those who repent thereafter and reform, for indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." "Repentance is made available for those who accuse a woman who is a believer, but not for those who accuse the Prophet's wives." Then he recited this verse, "Cursed in this world and the Hereafter and they will have a great punishment." "So some of the people understood to approach Ibn Abbas to kiss his head for his excellent interpretation."  

أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ النُّورِ فَفَسَّرَهَا فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْغَافِلَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ لُعِنُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} قَالَ «هَذِهِ فِي عَائِشَةَ وَأَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ تَوْبَةً وَجَعَلَ لِمَنْ رَمَى امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ التَّوْبَةَ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَلَا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً أَبَدًا وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ} «فَجَعَلَ لِهَؤُلَاءِ تَوْبَةً» {إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا فَإِنَّ اللهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ} «فَجَعَلَ لِمَنْ قَذَفَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ التَّوْبَةَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِمَنْ قَذَفَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَوْبَةً» ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {لُعِنُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} «فَهَمَّ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ أَنْ يَقُومَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لَيُقَبِّلَ رَأْسَهُ بِحُسْنِ مَا فَسَّرَ»
