That (is so). And whoso hath retaliated with the like of that which he was made to suffer and then hath (again) been wronged, Allah will succour him. Lo! Allah verily is Mild, Forgiving.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

That (is so). And if one has retaliated to no greater extent than the injury he received, and is again set upon inordinately, Allah will help him: for Allah is One that blots out (sins) and forgives (again and again).

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( ذلك ومن عاقب بمثل ما عوقب به ثم بغي عليه لينصرنه الله ) ، ذكر مقاتل بن حيان وابن جريج أنها نزلت في سرية من الصحابة ، لقوا جمعا من المشركين في شهر محرم ، فناشدهم المسلمون لئلا يقاتلوهم في الشهر الحرام ، فأبى المشركون إلا قتالهم وبغوا عليهم ، فقاتلهم المسلمون ، فنصرهم الله عليهم ، [ و ] ) إن الله لعفو غفور )
