Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to refuse to recite: "And it is not for a prophet to act dishonestly," and would say: How can it be that they are not restrained, when they were even killed? Thus Allah Almighty says: "And they kill the prophets without right," meaning "they unjustly kill the prophets." Rather, the hypocrites accused the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of stealing from the spoils, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And it is not for a prophet to act dishonestly," meaning "it is not befitting for any prophet to act dishonestly."
