قُل لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَغْفِرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ أَيَّامَ ٱللَّهِ لِيَجْزِىَ قَوْمًۢا بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Qul lillazeena aamanoo yaghfiroo lillazeena laa yarjoona ayyaamal laahi liyajziya qawmam bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon
Say, [O Muhammad], to those who have believed that they [should] forgive those who expect not the days of Allah so that He may recompense a people for what they used to earn.
Tafsir
Scholars offer complementary perspectives
Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not anticipate those who do not fear the days of God the events which He precipitates that is to say forgive the disbelievers the harm which they have caused you — this was before the command to struggle against them had been revealed — that He God may requite a variant reading for li-yajziya has li-najziya ‘that We may requite’ a people for what they used to earn when they used to forgive disbelievers the harm which they did.
