[The first interpretation]

5236 - Abu Sa'id al-Ashajj narrated to us, Abu Usamah narrated to us, he said: Idris al-Awdi said: Talhah ibn Musarrif informed me, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Abbas regarding His saying: "And to those your oaths have made a pact, so give them their share," he said: When the Emigrants (Muhajirun) arrived in Medina, an Ansar man would inherit over his blood relatives through the brotherhood which the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) established between them. When this verse was revealed: "And to every one We have appointed heirs," it was abrogated. Then He said: "And to those your oaths have made a pact, so give them their share."

5237 - Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah narrated to us, Hajjaj narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj and 'Uthman ibn 'Ata', from 'Ata', from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: "And to those your oaths have made a pact, so give them their share." In the Pre-Islamic era (Jahiliyyah), a man would make a pact with another saying: You shall inherit from me and I shall inherit from you. Friends used to enter into alliances. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Any alliance or pact that existed in the Jahiliyyah, Islam only increases it in intensity; and there is no pact or alliance in Islam [that allows inheritance]." Thus, this verse abrogated it.
