They found him closer to this one by a finger's breadth, and he was forgiven.
فَغُفِرَ — he was forgiven. This is a passive past verb: the man receives the action, he was forgiven, rather than doing it. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the verb's inner vowels instead of adding a helper word like 'was', and the leading 'fa-' presents the forgiveness as the consequence of being nearer.
