➋ { يَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَّشَآءُ وَ يُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَّشَآءُ … :} In this, those Arabs are encouraged to repent and return to obedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), that there is still time to repent for staying behind from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), because Allah is forgiving to those who repent and merciful to them, and this attribute of His is not just for today but has always been and will always be.
➌ { ’’ يَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَّشَآءُ وَ يُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَّشَآءُ ‘‘} The division shows that among those who stayed behind, some will repent from hypocrisy and be blessed with the gift of sincerity and will benefit from Allah’s forgiveness and mercy, and there will also be some who will not repent from hypocrisy and Allah will punish them. This is also made clear further in the verse: « قُلْ لِّلْمُخَلَّفِيْنَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ …».

[16] That is, He can benefit whomever He wills, even if circumstances appear otherwise. Similarly, He can humiliate and disgrace whomever He wills, for this entire universe belongs to Him, and both apparent and hidden causes are under His control. He can dispose of them in any way He wishes. However, if you refrain from your misdeeds and inner malice, He will also forgive you, because in reality, He is pleased by showing kindness to His servants.
