Pardon appears in these verses first of all as an attribute of Allah, the Pardoning (al-ʿAfuww). They encourage believers to pardon and overlook, recall that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was commanded to pardon, praise those who forgive and their good end, and state that pardon waives a right. The same word also designates the surplus of wealth from which one spends.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allāh delivers His command. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give [aid] to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause of Allāh, and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allāh should forgive you? And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
