Ibn Taymiyya gave up Takfir in his last days

The following is an interesting quote from Imam al-Dhahabi's Siyar a'lam an Nubala (15/88) where he mentions Ibn Taymiyyah giving up his Takfir in his last days:

وَكَذَا كَانَ شَيْخُنَا ابْنُ تيمِيَّة فِي أَوَاخِرِ أَيَّامه يَقُوْلُ:أَنَا لاَ أَكفر أَحَداً مِنَ الأُمَّة،

[Shukran Sidi Abul Hasan for passing this my way!]
