And (He also turned towards) those three persons (with Merciful Compassion) whose (decision) was deferred until when the earth, despite all its vastness, closed in upon them and their (own) souls (too) became cumbersome for them, and they knew for sure that there is no refuge from (the torment of) Allah except in (turning towards) Him. Allah then inclined towards them in Bestowal and Kindness so that they (too) might persevere with repentance and inclination. Surely Allah is the One Who is Most Relenting, Ever-Merciful.
