Repentance
[9:27]
But with all this, God will turn in His mercy unto whom He wills: for God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.


* v.27 : Lit., “then, after this.”
* Most of the commentators (e.g., Tabarī, Baghawī, Zamakhsharī, Ibn Kathīr) understand this verse as relating to the unbelievers and having a general import; Rāzī, however, thinks that it refers to the believers who behaved badly at the opening stage of the battle of Hunayn. In my opinion, the former interpretation is preferable. (See also last sentence of verse 15 and note 22 above.)
