6:23

ثُمَّ لَمْ تَكُن فِتْنَتُهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ وَٱللَّهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ

thumma lam takun fit'natuhum illā an qālū wal-lahi rabbinā mā kunnā mush'rikīna

Then there will be no [excuse upon] examination except they will say, "By Allāh, our Lord, we were not those who associated."

— Saheeh International

they will only say, ‘By God, our Lord, we have not set up partners beside Him!’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

There will then be (left) no Fitnah (excuses or statements or arguments) for them but to say: "By Allâh, our Lord, we were not those who joined others in worship with Allâh."

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
