وَمَا
كَانَ
اللَّهُ
لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ
وَأَنتَ
فِيهِمْ
وَمَا
كَانَ
اللَّهُ
مُعَذِّبَهُمْ
وَهُمْ
يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
wa-mā kāna llāhu li-yuʿadhdhibahum wa-ʾanta fīhim wa-mā kāna llāhu muʿadhdhibahum wa-hum yastaghfirūna
But Allah was not going to send them a penalty whilst thou wast amongst them; nor was He going to send it whilst they could ask for pardon.
— Abdullah Yusufali
But Allah will not punish them while you are in their midst, nor will Allah punish them while they plead for forgiveness.
