Ayah 90

Surah An-Nisaa

Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty or those who come to you, their hearts strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their own people. And if Allah had willed, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you a cause [for fighting] against them.﴿90

Translation

Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty or those who come to you, their hearts strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their own people. And if Allah had willed, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you a cause [for fighting] against them.

Simplified Tafsir

لكن الذين يتصلون بقوم بينكم وبينهم عهد وميثاق فلا تقاتلوهم، وكذلك الذين أتَوا إليكم وقد ضاقت صدورهم وكرهوا أن يقاتلوكم، كما كرهوا أن يقاتلوا قومهم، فلم يكونوا معكم ولا مع قومهم، فلا تقاتلوهم، ولو شاء الله تعالى لسلَّطهم عليكم، فلقاتلوكم مع أعدائكم من المشركين، ولكن الله تعالى صرفهم عنكم بفضله وقدرته، فإن تركوكم فلم يقاتلوكم، وانقادوا اليكم مستسلمين، فليس لكم عليهم من طريق لقتالهم.
