“And we had no authority over you... But you were a transgressing people.”
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
And there was not for us any authority over you. Nay! You were a rebellious people!
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
"Nor did we have authority over you or impose on you an edict or edicts; the fact is that you played the tyrant and were people given to transgression"
