The Holy Quran 2:167 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ لَوْ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُوا۟ مِنَّا ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُرِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ حَسَرَٰتٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ وَمَا هُم بِخَـٰرِجِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ

Translation

The followers will (then) say, "If only we could return (to the world by some means or other), then we too will disassociate ourselves from them as they now do to us." In a like manner (just as Allaah will show them their punishment and their disassociation from each other on the Day of Qiyaamah), Allaah will show them their (evil) actions which will be a cause of regret to them. They will never be able to escape from the Fire (of Jahannam after having entered it because of the shirk they committed).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وقال التابعون: يا ليت لنا عودة إلى الدنيا، فنعلن براءتنا من هؤلاء الرؤساء، كما أعلنوا براءتهم مِنَّا. وكما أراهم الله شدة عذابه يوم القيامة يريهم أعمالهم الباطلة ندامات عليهم، وليسوا بخارجين من النار أبدًا.
