(38) Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them. But if they return [to hostility] - then the precedent of the former [rebellious] peoples has already taken place.[445]
[445]- This is a warning that punishment is always the result of rebellion against Allāh and His messengers.
