Among them is His statement, exalted be He: {Is then one who believes equal to one who is sinful? They are not equal} (Surah Sajdah 32:18).
Ibn Abbas said: This was revealed about Ali ibn Abi Talib and al-Walid ibn Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'it. And it is reported that al-Walid said to Ali: "I am one of you in age and more fluent of tongue." Ali replied to him: "Be silent; you are nothing but a sinful one speaking lies." Then Allah revealed this as a confirmation of Ali. Qatadah said: "No, by Allah, they were not equal in this world or the Hereafter." It was narrated by al-Wahidi.
