So [Prophet] ignore those who turn away from Our revelation, who want only the life of this world
Attributed to Ibn Abbas

(Then withdraw) then turn your face, O Muhammad, (from him who fleeth) from him who turns away (from Our remembrance) from Our divine Oneness and Scripture (and desireth) of his works (but the life of the world) but that which is in the life of the world, i.e. Abu Jahl and his host.

Their knowledge does not go beyond that. Your Lord knows best who strays from His path and who follows guidance
Attributed to Ibn Abbas

(Such is their sum of knowledge) such is the extent at which their knowledge, intellect and opinion end, since they claimed that the angels are Allah's daughters and that there is no Hereafter. (Lo! thy Lord) O Muhammad (is best aware of him who strayeth) from His religion, in reference here to Abu Jahl, (and He is best aware of him who goeth right) to His religion, in reference here to Abu Bakr.

As for those who avoid grave sins and foul acts, though they may commit small sins, your Lord is ample in forgiveness. He has been aware of you from the time He produced you from the earth and from your hiding places in your mothers’ wombs, so do not assert your own goodness:He knows best who is mindful of Him
Attributed to Ibn Abbas

Allah then showed their works in the life of the world, saying: (Those who avoid enormities of sin) i.e. idolatry and the major sins (and abominations) adultery and transgressions, (save the unwilled offences) except a furtive look, a taunt, a censure which they then blame themselves for committing and repent of doing; it is also said that this means: except marrying ((for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy) towards he who repents of major and minor sins. (He is best aware of you) than your own selves (when He created you from the earth) He created you from Adam and Adam is from dust and dust is from the earth, (and when ye were) small (hidden in the bellies of your mothers) Allah knew in these circumstances what will ensue from you. (Therefore ascribe not purity unto yourselves) do not absolve yourselves from committing sins. (He is best aware of him who wardeth off (evil)) transgression and does good.

Does he have knowledge of the Unseen? Can he see [the Hereafter]
Attributed to Ibn Abbas

(Hath he knowledge of the Unseen) the Guarded Tablet (so that he seeth) his doing in it that it is indeed as he did? This verse was revealed about 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan who was of the habit of spending a great deal on, and gives alms to, the Companions of the Prophet (pbuh) but then he met 'Abdullah Ibn Sa'd Ibn Abi Sarh. The latter said to him: " I see that you spend a great deal on these, and I fear that you may be left with nothing ". 'Uthman said to him: " I have faults and sins which I want to expiate and I also want to obtain Allah's good pleasure ". 'Abdullah said: " Give me the halter of your camel and I will bear your sins and faults in this life and in the Hereafter ". As a result, he gave him the halter of his camel and confided himself to spending on him. It is because of this that this verse was revealed.
