The Holy Quran 8:33 — Surah Al-Anfal

Arabic text

وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنتَ فِيهِمْ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

Translation

(However, Allaah did not do as they asked because) Allaah shall not punish them while you (O Muhammad) are among them (because punishment affects all present and a Nabi can never be made to suffer punishment) and Allaah will not punish them while (as long as) they (people among them) seek forgiveness.

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وما كان الله سبحانه وتعالى ليعذِّب هؤلاء المشركين، وأنت -أيها الرسول- بين ظهرانَيْهم، وما كان الله معذِّبهم، وهم يستغفرون من ذنوبهم.
