  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)

  • Ala-Madudi

313. By "suppressed" means those who were really disabled and are in no position to migrate. like Hazrat Abbas (Radiallahu Anhu), who was compelled to accompany the infidels forces in the Battle of Badr.

For this reason  Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم the proclaimed that no one should kill Hazrat Abbas (Radiallahu Anhu) as the infidels had brought him in their army by force, he had not come on his own free will.
 

314.That the persons could not migrate due to the reasons outlined, Hence, they are excusable. From this we learn that if any person is unable to undertake the journey because he does not know the route to Muslim territory, etc. then such type of persons would be regarded as excusable.
