"And leave those who deviate in His names"—meaning: those who incline; so they named a deity 'Al-Lat' in place of Allah, and 'Al-'Uzza' in place of Al-'Aziz (The Almighty).
"And leave" in this context is abrogated; it was abrogated by the command to fight.
Surat al-A'raf from verse (182) to verse (186).
﴿وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ﴾ أَيْ: يَمِيلُونَ؛ فَسَمَّوْا مَكَانَ اللَّهِ: الَّلاتَ، وَمَكَانَ الْعَزِيزِ: الْعُزَّى.
﴿وَذَرُوا﴾ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ منسوخٌ، نَسَخَهُ الْقِتَال.
سُورَة الْأَعْرَاف من الْآيَة (١٨٢) إِلَى الْآيَة (١٨٦).
