In Surah 24 verse 33 will Allah show forgiveness to the slaves or the masters?

So in Surah 24 verse 33 say > **Sahih International** > > But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from > sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty. And those > who seek a contract [for eventual emancipation] from among whom your > right hands possess - then make a contract with them if you know there > is within them goodness and give them from the wealth of Allah which > He has given you. And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, > if they desire chastity, to seek [thereby] the temporary interests of > worldly life. And if someone should compel them, then indeed, Allah is > [to them], after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful. the sentence "to them" is only in brackets (that means the word to them is not there at all in the original translation) and if we delete the word "to them" in this verse then the meaning is: > then indeed, Allah is, **after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful**. Does this verse speak to slaves or masters? And is it true that Allah will forgive the sins of masters who have forced their slaves to commit prostitution?
