The word of the Most High: { But when the sacred months have passed } ; He is saying: When the months that you have appointed a time for them come to an end; { kill the Idolaters wherever you find them } : in non-sacred or sacred occasions; that is, the Idolaters with whom there is no covenant, after this period of time. It is said that this verse: { Kill the Idolaters wherever you find them } abrogated seventy verses in the Qur’an about truces, covenants, and restraint, for example His word: { Say: I am not a guardian over you } [Al-an’am 66], and His word: { You are not master over them } [Al-ghashiya 22], and His Word: { So turn away from them } [Al-nisaa 63], and His Word: { You all have your religion and I have mine } [Al-kafirun 6], and similar verses that are like these – all of them have been abrogated by this verse.
