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.
And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified for them an obligation, then [give] half of what you specified - unless they forego the right or the one in whose hand is the marriage contract foregoes it. And to forego it is nearer to righteousness. And do not forget graciousness between you. Indeed Allāh, of whatever you do, is Seeing.
