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

“Whereupon, in their utter confusion, they will only [be able to] say: "By God, our Sustainer, we did not [mean to] ascribe divinity to aught beside Him!"”

Then their dissension read accusative fitnatahum or nominative fitnatuhum their apology was read lam takun or lam yakun only to say in other words was only their saying ‘By God our Lord read rabbinā as an adjective of wa’Llāhi ‘by God’ or rabbanā as a vocative we were never idolaters’.
