The Holy Quran 59:3 — Surah Al-Hashr

Arabic text

وَلَوْلَآ أَن كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْجَلَآءَ لَعَذَّبَهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَذَابُ ٱلنَّارِ

Translation

If Allaah had not decreed the exile for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world (by having them executed). And in the Aakhirah, theirs shall be the punishment of the Fire (of Jahannam which will not be reduced).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Exile was written in their fate: that is, the punishment of exile was written in their fate. Had it not been so, some other punishment would have been given to them in this world — for example, they would have been killed like the Banu Qurayzah. In short, they cannot escape punishment.
