وَعَلَى الثَّلٰثَةِ الَّذ۪ينَ خُلِّفُواۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ اَنْفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّٓوا اَنْ لَا مَلْجَاَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اِلَّٓا اِلَيْهِۜ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُواۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّح۪يمُ۟ ١١٨

English Translation
118And as for the three who stayed behind and did not take part in the fighting, their consciences so tormented them that the earth, for all its vastness, became too narrow for them, and they realized that there was no refuge from Allah except in Allah Himself. Then, because they turned to Allah in repentance, Allah accepted their repentance. Surely Allah, yes, He is the One who accepts repentance and is merciful.
