SOCIAL BESIEGE OF THE SINNERS (VERSE NO. 117) Verses 117-118

 The immediate reference of the above two verses is to four of the believers who wavered in going to Tabuk due to their weakness of human nature, but the Grace of God came to their help to overcome their weakness.

      The lesson with their case is a general one, and for all ages. One of the said four men was named, ``ABUHASIMEH'' who stayed behind TABUK expedition,but after a delay of ten days, he at once came to himself, and set out as quick as possible, and fortunately reached in time and the prophet welcomed him.

      The second group consisted of three men, namely; KAAB, MARARAT and HELÄL, who did not join the expedition, but they were indeed believers. They wavered for lack of will, and when the prophet returned from the journey, they were excluded from the life of community. It became so difficult for them to live that the spacious earth seemed constrained to them, and even in their own souls they had a feeling of constraint!

      No late, when they realized that they could not flee from God, and that they could find no refuge any where else, except repentance, and showing it some how in their deeds.

      Due to the importance of the general lesson that can be taken from their affair in all ages, at the end of the comments you will read more about them in a translator's note.
