Then press on from where the people press on and seek God's forgive- ness; God is Forgiving Merciful. The allusion [in this part of the verse] is that you should not see yourself as different from others because of some manner of dressing patched clothing or some quality that distinguishes you outwardly. Rather you should [consider yourself only as] one among [all] humanity. When the thought comes to you that you have done something or that anything [happens] through you for you or with you seek God's forgiveness and renew your faith for [this kind of thought] is a hidden idolatry shirk that infects your heart.
- 2:199199
ثُمَّ أَفِيضُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفَاضَ النَّاسُ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
Then move with the crowd impetuously, and pray God to forgive you your sins. God is surely forgiving and kind.
