except those who repent thereafter and make amends in their deeds for God is indeed Forgiving of their unsubstantiated accusations Merciful to them in inspiring them to make repentance whereby their immorality is curbed and their testimony becomes once again acceptable — some say however that it can never be accepted thereafter if the proviso is taken to refer to the last clause.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Save those who afterward repent) after their slander (and make amends) between themselves and their Lord. ((For such) lo! Allah is Forgiving) He forgives whoever repents, (Merciful) He bestows mercy upon whoever dies repentant. This verse was revealed about 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy and his host.
