"O you who have believed, do not take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers." He says: Do not act as the hypocrites acted; they took the polytheists as allies instead of the believers. "Do you wish to provide Allah with a clear argument against you?" Ibn Abbas said: A clear proof.
﴿يَا أَيهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاء من دون الْمُؤمنِينَ﴾ يَقُولُ: لَا تَفعلُوا كَفعل الْمُنَافِقين؛ اتَّخذُوا الْمُشْركين أَوْلِيَاء من دون الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿أَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا لِلَّهِ عَلَيْكُم سُلْطَانا مُبينًا﴾ قَالَ ابْن عَبَّاس: حجَّة بَيِّنَة.
