The Holy Quran 9:106 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

وَءَاخَرُونَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ ٱللَّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَإِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

Translation

There are some (sincere Sahaabah رضي الله تعالى عنهم who did not join Rasulullaah to Tabook despite their ability to do so) whose matter (whose forgiveness) has been postponed for (the arrival of) the order of Allaah. He will either punish them or accept their repentance. Allaah is All Knowing, The Wise. (This verse refers to three sincere Sahaabah رضي الله تعالى عنهم who did not present false excuses to Rasulullaah to justify their failure to join him to Tabook. They truly regretted this and sought Allaah's forgiveness. Their forgiveness was announced only fifty days later, during which period the other Muslims were commanded not to associate with them.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ومن هؤلاء المتخلفين عنكم -أيها المؤمنون- في غزوة (تبوك) آخرون مؤخرون; ليقضي الله فيهم ما هو قاض. وهؤلاء هم الذين ندموا على ما فعلوا، وهم: مُرارة بن الربيع، وكعب بن مالك، وهلال بن أُميَّة، إما يعذبهم الله، وإما يعفو عنهم. والله عليم بمن يستحق العقوبة أو العفو، حكيم في كل أقواله وأفعاله.
