آیه: 2

فَسِيحُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَرۡبَعَةَ أَشۡهُرٖ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمۡ غَيۡرُ مُعۡجِزِي ٱللَّهِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡزِي ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

[2015] They were afforded unrestricted freedom of movement for four months (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn ʿAṭiyyah, al-Saʿdī). This, so that they could find themselves a safe place to depart to (cf. Ibn Kathīr).
[2016] This is a warning that should they choose to stick to their ways, even if the Believers are not to touch them, God’s punishment is ever-close. That is, they are encouraged to repent (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn ʿAṭiyyah, al-Saʿdī).
