The questioner:
The Shaykh: May Allah reward you with good. In Surat al-Nisa, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said in the surah:[An-Nisa 4:48] Is the verse decisive or abrogated? By the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, in al-Zumar: Say, "O My servants" [Az-Zumar 39:53] The second question: May Allah reward you with good. Listen to the answer.
The Shaykh:
But read what comes after it, my brother. It says:[Az-Zumar 39:54] So repentance is necessary.
The questioner:
Repentance is necessary before death, O Shaykh. The second question. That is, is the verse abrogated or decisive?
The Shaykh:
My brother, it is decisive. What abrogated it?
The questioner:
Because he asked one of the Shaykhs, and he said it is abrogated. In al-Tabari, it says: "O My servants."
The Shaykh:
No, that is not correct. That is an error.

يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْThe Shaykh:
But read what comes after it, my brother. It says:
And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him
