

ﲙ ﲚ ﲛ ﲜ ﲝ ﲞ ﲟ ﲠ ﲡ ﲢ ﲣ ﲤ

Then there will be no [excuse upon] examination except they will say, "By Allah, our Lord, we were not those who associated."

ثم لم تكن فتنتهم

There will then be (left) no Fitnah for them, means, argument. Ata' Al-Khurasani said that,

ثم لم تكن فتنتهم

(There will then be (left) no Fitnah for them), in the face of the affliction that will be placed on them,

إﻻ أن قالوا والله ربنا ما كنا مشركين

but to say: "By Allah, our Lord, we were not those who joined others (in worship with Allah).'' Allah said next,

انظر كيف كذبوا على أنفسهم وضل عنهم ما كانوا يفترون
