Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Permission to Utter Evil in Public, For One Who Was Wronged`Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas commented on the Ayah,لاَّ يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ الْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوءِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ(Allah does not like that the evil should be uttered in public) "Allah does not like that any one should invoke Him against anyone else, unless one was wronged. In this case, Allah allows one to invoke Him against whoever wronged him. Hence Allah's statement,إَلاَّ مَن ظَلَمَ(except by him who has been wronged.
