ثُمَّ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِیْنَ هَاجَرُوْا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا فُتِنُوْا ثُمَّ جٰهَدُوْا وَصَبَرُوْۤا ۙ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنْ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟۠

Saheeh International
Then, indeed your Lord, to those who emigrated after they had been compelled [to say words of disbelief] and thereafter fought [for the cause of Allāh] and were patient - indeed, your Lord, after that, is Forgiving and Merciful
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
Then your Lord - O Messenger - is Forgiving and Merciful towards those oppressed believers who migrated from Makkah to Madina after being persecuted by the idolaters to the extent that they uttered words of disbelief whilst their hearts were at peace with faith. Then they strove in Allah’s path to make the Word of Allah supreme, and the word of the disbelievers lowest and they were patient over its difficulties. Your Lord, after the persecution that they underwent, is Forgiving and Merciful towards them because they only uttered words of disbelief under duress.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir (abridged) on 16:110–16:111
Then, verily, your Lord for those who emigrated after they were put to trials and then performed Jihad, and were patient, - after this, your Lord is indeed Forgiving, Most Merciful (110)(Remember) the Day when every person will come pleading for himself, and every one will be paid in full for what he did, and they will not be dealt with unjustly (111)
The One who is forced to renounce Islam will be forgiven if He does Righteous Deeds afterwards
This refers to another group of people who were oppressed in Makkah and whose position with their own people was weak, so they went along with them when they were tried by them. Then they managed to escape by emigrating, leaving their homeland, families and wealth behind, seeking the pleasure and forgiveness of Allah. They joined the believers and fought with them against the disbelievers, bearing hardship with patience. Allah tells them that after this, meaning after their giving in when put to the test, He will forgive them and show mercy to them when they are resurrected.
يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَادِلُ
((Remember) the Day when every person will come pleading) meaning making a case in his own defence.
عَن نَّفْسِهَا
(for himself.) means, no one else will plead on his behalf; not his father, not his son, nor his brother, nor his wife.
وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ
(and every one will be paid in full for what he did,) meaning whatever he did, good or evil.
وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
(and they will not be dealt with unjustly.) meaning there will be no decrease in the reward for good, and no increase in the punishment for evil. They will not be dealt with unjustly in the slightest way.
