4868.

Commentary
1. 'Disagreement arose': Whether the repentance of a deliberate killer is accepted or not.
2. 'I Went', because he was staying at Makkah.
3. 'Did abrogate it', because this Verse or Ayah is Madinan, whereas the Verse regarding repentance is Makkan. Besides, in it there is mention of polytheists, not of Muslims.
