{فَأُولَٰئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ}

(فَأُولَٰئِكَ): That is, the oppressed [who were unable to emigrate].

(عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ): This contains an indication that abandoning emigration is a grave matter, to the extent that one who is compelled—having confirmed that it is not obligatory upon him—should still consider leaving it a sin. He should not feel secure, but rather watch for an opportunity and keep his heart attached to it.

(وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا): A concluding sentence that confirms what preceded it in the most perfect manner.
