إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِۢ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَبَيۡنَهُم مِّيثَٰقٌ أَوۡ جَآءُوكُمۡ حَصِرَتۡ صُدُورُهُمۡ أَن يُقَٰتِلُوكُمۡ أَوۡ يُقَٰتِلُواْ قَوۡمَهُمۡۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَسَلَّطَهُمۡ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَلَقَٰتَلُوكُمۡۚ فَإِنِ ٱعۡتَزَلُوكُمۡ فَلَمۡ يُقَٰتِلُوكُمۡ وَأَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلسَّلَمَ فَمَا جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَبِيلٗا
90(Regarding the second group Allah says) Except those (dis-believers) who belong to a tribe having a (peace) treaty with you, or those who approach you stating that they are fed up fighting against you as well as supporting their own tribe. Had Allah willed, He would have given them power over you and they would have fought against you. (But Allah saved you from this anxiety). Hence, if they withdraw from you and don’t fight you and try to stay at peace with you, then (in this peaceful situation) Allah has not permitted you (to kill them or imprison them).
