Al-Jalalayn Commentary

And who when they commit an indecency a despicable sin such as adultery or wrong themselves with less than that such as a kiss remember God that is to say His threat of punishment and pray forgiveness for their sins — and who that is none shall forgive sins but God? — and who do not persist persevere in what they did but have desisted from it knowing that what they did was sinful.
