It is not for you [O Prophet] to decide whether He will accept their repentance or punish them, for they are wrongdoers.— الترجمة الإنجليزية - مركز رواد الترجمة
128. After the believers had been afflicted in the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed to Allah to destroy the idolaters and some of their leaders. Yet Allah told him that the matter of destruction and punishment lies only with Him alone and that the Prophet has no decision in it. So, be patient until Allah decides between you: either allowing them to repent to Him, asking for forgiveness, so that they are saved; or permitting them to continue in their disbelief, so that they are punished. Those continuing in disbelief are wrongdoers and deserve a punishment.— الترجمة الإنجليزية للمختصر في تفسير القرآن الكريم
You, [Prophet], have no say in the matter. [It is for Him] to accept their repentance or punish them. They are wrongdoers.— ترجمة معاني القرآن الكريم - عادل صلاحي
