And (He did forgive also) the three [who did not join the Tabuk expedition (whom the Prophet SAW)] left (i.e. he did not give his judgement in their case, and their case was suspended for Allah's Decision) till for them the earth, vast as it is, was straitened and their ownselves were straitened to them, and they perceived that there is no fleeing from Allah, and no refuge but with Him. Then, He accepted their repentance, that they might repent (unto Him). Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.
Na pia wale watatu walio achwa nyuma hata dunia wakaiona dhiki juu ya ukunjufu wake, na nafsi zao zikabanika, na wakayakinika kuwa hapana pa kumkimbia Mwenyezi Mungu isipo kuwa kwake Yeye. Kisha akawaelekea kwa rehema yake ili nao waendelee kutubu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mwenye kupokea toba na Mwenye kurehemu.
