(When the Verse ‘Adopt forgiveness, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant’ was revealed,)
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked Jibril (‘alayhis salam), ‘What does this [refer to]?’ Jibril (‘alayhis salam) said, ‘I do not know, I will ask [Allah]. Jibril (‘alayhis salam) then came to Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and said, O Muhammad! Allah Ta’ala is commanding you [i.e. the explanation of the verse is] to forgive those who oppress you, give those who deprive you and join ties with those who sever ties with you”
( Refer: Al Mughni ‘An Hamlil Asfar, Hadith: 2679, Tafsir ‘Abdur Razzaq, Tafsir Ibn Abi Hatim, Ibn Marduyah, Surah, Al A’raf, Verse: 199. and Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
