وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ الدَّهَّانُ، أنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَارُونَ، أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ اللَّبَّادُ، أنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ، قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي الْكَلْبِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ - يَعْنِي فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ بِوَجْهٍ آخَرَ -
قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: " هُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَلْعَنُ صَاحِبَهُ فِي أَمْرٍ يَرَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَى إِلَيْهِ فَيَلْعَنُهُ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَتَرْتَفِعُ اللَّعْنَةُ فِي السَّمَاءِ سَرِيحًا - يَعْنِي سَرِيعًا -، فَلَا تَجِدُ صَاحِبَهَا الَّتِي قِيلَتْ لَهُ أَهْلًا، فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا فَلَا تَجِدُهُ لَهَا أَهْلًا، فَتَنْطَلِقُ فَتَقَعُ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ فَهُوَ قَوْلُهُ: {وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّاعِنُونَ} [البقرة: 159] فَمَنْ تَابَ مِنْهُمُ ارْتَفَعَتْ عَنْهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَكَانَتْ فِيمَنْ بَقِيَ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُهُ: {إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا} [البقرة: 160] " الْآيَةَ

He said: ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd said: "It is the man who curses his companion over a matter that he thinks the other has done to him, so he curses him for it. He said: So the curse rises up into the heaven swiftly – meaning quickly – and it does not find the one it was said against deserving of it, so it returns to the one who spoke it, and does not find him deserving of it either, so it goes off and falls upon the Jews. That is His saying: {وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّاعِنُونَ} [al-Baqarah: 159]. Whoever among them repents, the curse is lifted from him, and it remains upon those of the Jews who remain. That is His saying: {إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا} [al-Baqarah: 160]" – the verse.
