117. Allah turned with favour to the Prophet, the Muhajirs, and the Ansar,- who followed
him in a time of distress, after that the hearts of a part of them had nearly swerved (from
duty); but He turned to them (also): for He is unto them Most Kind, Most Merciful.

118. (He turned in mercy also) to the three who were left behind; (they felt guilty) to such
a degree that the earth seemed constrained to them, for all its spaciousness, and their
(very) souls seemed straitened to them,- and they perceived that there is no fleeing from
Allah (and no refuge) but to Himself. Then He turned to them, that they might repent: for
Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
