حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَكُمْ إِدْرِيسُ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏{‏وَلِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِيَ‏}‏ ‏{‏وَالَّذِينَ عَقَدَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ‏}‏ قَالَ كَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ حِينَ قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ يَرِثُ الأَنْصَارِيُّ الْمُهَاجِرِيَّ دُونَ ذَوِي رَحِمِهِ لِلأُخُوَّةِ الَّتِي آخَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ ‏{‏جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِيَ‏}‏ قَالَ نَسَخَتْهَا ‏{‏وَالَّذِينَ عَقَدَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ‏}‏

English translation

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

Regarding the Holy Verse:--'And to everyone, We have appointed heirs..' And:-- (4:33) 'To those also to Whom your right hands have pledged.' (4:33) When the emigrants came to Medina, the Ansar used to be the heir of the emigrants (and vice versa) instead of their own kindred by blood (Dhawl-l-arham), and that was because of the bond of brotherhood which the Prophet (ﷺ) had established between them, i.e. the Ansar and the emigrants. But when the Divine Verse:-- 'And to everyone We have appointed heirs,' (4:33) was revealed, it cancelled the other, order i.e. 'To those also, to whom Your right hands have pledged.'
