Surely, Lord Allah has accepted the repentance of the Prophet, the migrants and the helpers who followed him in the critical hour even though the hearts of a group among them are inclined; and then He accepted their repentance, indeed, He is Kind and Merciful with them.
The error that happened to Messenger by permitting the hypocrites to abstain from the battle is explained in verse 9: 43. Some of the followers by seeing the retrieval of hypocrites from battle also wished not to follow Messenger to Tabuk. But later, by understanding the Truth, they repented to Lord and decided to join the Messenger. Thus, the Lord accepted their repentance. It is told in verses 33: 72-73 that the Trust Adhikr is revealed to punish the hypocritical men and women as well as the Mushrik men and women; also, to accept the repentance from the believing men and woman. The lifestyle of today’s believer who testifies Adhikr is explained in verses 7: 205-206 and 9: 71-72. See explanations 2: 218; 4: 95-96 and 9: 25-27.
