Surah Saba 34:17

Sheba · Verse 17 of 54 · Juz 22 · Page 430

ذَٰلِكَ جَزَيْنَـٰهُم بِمَا كَفَرُوا۟ ۖ وَهَلْ نُجَـٰزِىٓ إِلَّا ٱلْكَفُورَ

[By] that We repaid them because they disbelieved. And do We [thus] repay except the ungrateful?

Translation: Saheeh International

Tafsir

That replacement of what they had is what We requited them with for their ingratitude and is anyone but the ingrate ever so requited? read hal yujāzā illā’l-kafūru; or read as hal nujāzī illā’l-kafūra ‘Would We requite anyone but the ingrate?’ in other words it is only the like of such who is called to account.
