But Allah would not punish them while you, [O Muhammad], are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.
Tafseer
قال تعالى: { وما كان الله ليعذَّبهم } بما سألوه { وأنت فيهم } لأن العذاب إذا نزل عَمَّ ولم تعذَّب أمة إلا بعد خروج نبيها والمؤمنين منها { وما كان الله معذبَهم وهم يستغفرون } حيث يقولون في طوافهم: غفرانك ، غفرانك. وقيل أهم المؤمنون المستضعفون فيهم كما قال تعالى: (لو تزيَّلوا لعذبنا الذين كفروا منهم عذابا أليما) .
He says: And Allah will punish them what they asked him and you because torment them down if the uncle did not freshen up the nation until after the prophet and the faithful ones And Allah will punish them while they seek forgiveness where they say in Toaffhm: forgiveness, forgiveness. It was said the most vulnerable believers in them as he says: (if Tzilua Azibna for those who disbelieve them a painful punishment).
