Al-Qalam • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ﴾
“They answered: "Limitless in His glory is our Sustainer! Verily, we were doing wrong!"”
(They said: Glorified be our Lord!) We ask forgiveness of our Lord. (Lo! we have been wrong-doers) we harmed ourselves by our transgression and intention to deprive the needy ones and also by failing to say �Allah willing�.
