Verse 60:8
QARIB:
Allah does not forbid you to be kind and to act justly to those who have neither made war on your religion nor expelled you from your homes. Allah loves the just.

SHAKIR:
Allah does not forbid you respecting those who have not made war against you on account of (your) religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them kindness and deal with them justly; surely Allah loves the doers of justice.

PICKTHAL:
Allah forbiddeth you not those who warred not against you on account of religion and drove you not out from your homes, that ye should show them kindness and deal justly with them. lo! Allah loveth the just dealers.

YUSUFALI:
Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just.

God does not forbid you in regard to those who did not wage war against you, from among the disbelievers, on account of religion and did not expel you from your homes,
That you should treat them kindly
That you should have relations with them and help them
And deal with them justly ) by honoring your pledges to them:
It is obvious that Allah did not forbid the Prophet Muhammad from having good relations with the disbelievers to have peace.
Assuredly Allah loves the just dealers, those who are just and are not biased.


Background of verse 8:60 and a story about it:

Allah, exalted is He, says to the believers: “You have in Abraham as well as in the prophets and friends of Allah good role models, regarding their declaration of enmity towards their relatives who were idolaters, which should be emulated”.
So when this verse was revealed, the believers declared their relatives who were idolaters to be their enemies. They showed this enmity to them and absolved themselves of all the things that they did or believed in.
Allah, exalted is He, knew that this was hard on the believers and so He revealed
"It may be that Allah will ordain love between you and those of them with whom ye are at enmity" [60:7].
And He did just that when many of them embraced Islam, thus becoming brothers and friends. Consequently, they mingled with and married from among each other. The Messenger Muhammad, Allah bless him, married Umm Habibah, the daughter of Abu Sufyan (who was one of the leaders of the disbelievers).
As a result, Abu Sufyan mellowed a little. When he heard of the news of his daughter’s marriage, he said while he was still an idolater: “What an honor, He is an outstanding person; no harm shall come to him”.

Also, there is a story about this verse:

Asma's mother (was disbeliever) went to visit her daughter Asma' and took with her gifts: desert lizards, clarified butter and dry cheese. However, Asma’ refused to let her in her house and rejected her gifts.
‘A’ishah (Muhammad's wife) went on behalf of Asma’ to ask the Prophet Muhammad. Allah, exalted is He, revealed (Allah does not forbid you those who warred not against you on account of religion) [60:8].
Asma’ then let her mother into her house and accepted her gifts.
