The Holy Quran 6:23 — Surah Al-An'am

Arabic text

ثُمَّ لَمْ تَكُن فِتْنَتُهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ وَٱللَّهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ

Translation

Their only ploy (excuse to evade punishment) then will be to swear, “By Allaah our Rabb, we never committed Shirk!"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
