Salam Everyone!
It was a great pleasure to be here and get some nice answers to my query. It was really helpful and now I am going to revise my study. I hope that I will understand the whole Surah easily by keeping those points highlighted by dear brothers and sisters.
May Allah always bless us with His guidance!

Peace huruf, not two different "things" but two different groups, both with
reasons/excuses for not being with the prophet during the journey.Lets take the ayahs
Verse 9.117
Allah has already forgiven the Prophet and the Muhajireen and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of difficulty after the hearts of a party of them had almost inclined , and then He forgave them. Indeed, He was to them Kind and Merciful.
first group - A group from ansars/helpers who deviatedSecond group - a group of three who were left by the main group (main muslim group)
Again in verse 9.120
It was not for the people of Madinah and those surrounding them of the bedouins that they remain behind after the Messenger of Allah or that they prefer themselves over his self. That is because they are not afflicted by thirst or fatigue or hunger in the cause of Allah, nor do they tread on any ground that enrages the disbelievers, nor do they inflict upon an enemy any infliction but that is registered for them as a righteous deed. Indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of the doers of goodFrom this verse one can reason that prophet was on some journey and the first group deviated but i cannot reason how you came to the conclusion that even those three were not with him in that journey .further ,the verse 9.120 can be information for the future because the first group was in deviation but they were with the prophet .
Peace,
Ayat 9/118 clearly instructs the believers to "TRUST" Allah.
Those who stayed behind deeply regretted doing so!
peace
okay brother parvez mushtaq I have an idea where you are leaning here but &
Secondly how you came to the conclusion those three were not with the prophet in his journey

Salamun Alaikum, Brothers and Sisters! Can some one describe the word "The Three" (ة in Chapter 9 verse 118 without referring to any Hadith?
Salaamun brother,
I had a quick look on 9117. Found these 3 alNabi, alMuhajireen and alAnsaar.
Will check in detail later if my Allah wills.

Peace, your second group is part of my first group!
peace

Peace, your second group is part of my first group!
peace
If so why they are being addressed separately
-
Because they are part of the first group only they stayed behind.
according to my understanding when I read 9/117-118 in context,peace
This "stayed behind" is false. They were left behind. That is what the text says. It could have said "stayed behind", if that were what was meant, but it does nto say it. It says "were left behind". So any interpretation must match that, otherwise we are arranging the text to match our own expectations.
Salaam
