ٱلصَّافَّات : ٣٠

  • وَمَا And not
  • كَانَ was
  • لَنَا for us
  • عَلَيۡكُم over you
  • مِّن any
  • سُلۡطَٰنِۖ authority
  • بَلۡ Nay
  • كُنتُمۡ you were
  • قَوۡمٗا a people
  • طَٰغِينَ transgressing
And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
And we did not have any warrant, any sway or power, over you, to compel you to follow us. Nay, but you [yourselves] were a rebellious folk, astray, like us.
