The reason Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) moved from Makkah to al-Ta'if

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A case came up to us that Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) resided in al-Ta'if out of fear of being wronged in the Haram.

Answer:
Yes, this is correct. Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) resided in al-Ta'if because Allah (Exalted and Majestic) said regarding the Haram:
and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein of deviation [in religion] or wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.وَمَن يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
[Al-Hajj 22:25]
So he feared this and said, "I will not sit in a land where sins are committed boldly." He resided in al-Ta'if out of scrupulousness (may Allah the Exalted be pleased with him). Yes.
