And also upon the three who were kept in waiting; when the earth, vast as it is, was restricted for them, and they became weary of their own lives and became certain that there is no refuge from Allah except with Him; He then accepted their repentance in order that they remain repentant; indeed Allah is the Most Acceptor of Repentance, the Most Merciful.
و [نيز] بر آن سه تن كه بر جاى مانده بودند، [و قبول توبه آنان به تعويق افتاد] تا آنجا كه زمين با همه فراخى‌اش بر آنان تنگ گرديد، و از خود به تنگ آمدند و دانستند كه پناهى از خدا جز به سوى او نيست. پس [خدا] به آنان [توفيق ]توبه داد، تا توبه كنند. بى ترديد خدا همان توبه‌پذير مهربان است.
