وَعَلَى الثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا حَتَّىٰ إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّوا أَنْ لَا مَلْجَأَ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ 118 ١١٨

Tafsir

قوله تعالى : ( وعلى الثلاثة الذين خلفوا حتى إذا ضاقت عليهم الأرض بما رحبت ) اتسعت ، ( وضاقت عليهم أنفسهم ) غما وهما ، ( وظنوا ) أي : تيقنوا ، ( أن لا ملجأ من الله ) لا مفزع من الله ، ( إلا إليه ثم تاب عليهم ليتوبوا ) أي : ليستقيموا على التوبة فإن توبتهم قد سبقت . ( إن الله هو التواب الرحيم ) .

Allah turned in forgiveness to the three – Murārah ibn Al-Rabī‘, Ka‘b ibn Mālik and Hilāl ibn Umayyah – who stayed behind from going with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)to Tabūk. The Prophet (peace be upon him)instructed people to stay away from them, which made them feel sadness and grief. The earth seemed narrow to them despite its vastness, and their hearts felt constricted because of their loneliness, and they were certain there was no place of refuge or help they could go to except to Allah alone. Allah was Merciful to them, enabling them to turn to Him, asking for forgiveness, and accepting their repentance. Allah is the One who accepts the repentance from His slaves, and is full of mercy and compassion to them.
