Ibn Abza said to me, "Ask Ibn `Abbas regarding the Statement of Allah:
'And whoever murders a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell.' (4.69)
And also His Statement: '...nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause .....except
those who repent, believe, and do good deeds.' " (25.68-70) So I asked Ibn `Abbas and he said, "When
this (25.68-69) was revealed, the people of Mecca said, "We have invoked other gods with Allah, and
we have murdered such lives which Allah has made sacred, and we have committed illegal sexual
intercourse. So Allah revealed:
'Except those who repent, believe, and do good deeds and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'
(25.70)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 287
Regarding the Holy Verse: "Those who responded (To the call) of Allah And the Apostle
(Muhammad), After being wounded, For those of them Who did good deeds And refrained from
wrong, there is a great reward." (3.172)
She said to `Urwa, "O my nephew! Your father, Az-Zubair and Abu Bakr were amongst them (i.e.
those who responded to the call of Allah and the Apostle on the day (of the battle of Uhud). When
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), suffered what he suffered on the day of Uhud and the pagans left, the Prophet (ﷺ) was
afraid that they might return. So he said, 'Who will go on their (i.e. pagans') track?' He then selected
seventy men from amongst them (for this purpose)." (The sub-narrator added, "Abu Bakr and Az-
Zubair were amongst them.")
