Al-An'aam • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ 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 will they have no contention) excuse or answer (save that they will say: By Allah, our Lord, we never were idolaters).
