سورة التوبة، الآية ١١٨Surah At-Tawbah, ayah 118 (9:118)
وَعَلَى ٱلثَّلَٰثَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ خُلِّفُواْ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ضَاقَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتۡ وَضَاقَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَنفُسُهُمۡ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَن لَّا مَلۡجَأَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّآ إِلَيۡهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ لِيَتُوبُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ١١٨
The meaning in English
And (He did forgive also) the three [who did not join the Tabûk expedition whose case was deferred (by the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم)] (for Allâh’s Decision) till for them the earth, vast as it is, was straitened and their ownselves were straitened to them, and they perceived that there is no fleeing from Allâh, and no refuge but with Him. Then, He forgave them (accepted their repentance), that they might beg for His pardon [repent (unto Him)] Verily, Allâh is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful.

التفسير الميسر
وكذلك تاب الله على الثلاثة الذين خُلِّفوا من الأنصار -وهم كعب بن مالك وهلال بن أُميَّة ومُرَارة بن الربيع- تخلَّفوا عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وحزنوا حزنًا شديدًا، حتى إذا ضاقت عليهم الأرض بسَعَتها غمًّا وندمًا بسبب تخلفهم، وضاقت عليهم أنفسهم لِمَا أصابهم من الهم، وأيقنوا أن لا ملجأ من الله إلا إليه، وفَّقهم الله سبحانه وتعالى إلى الطاعة والرجوع إلى ما يرضيه سبحانه. إن الله هو التواب على عباده، الرحيم بهم
