8:68
لَّوْلَا كِتَـٰبٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَآ أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
lawlā kitābun mina l-lahi sabaqa lamassakum fīmā akhadhtum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīmun
and had it not been preordained by God, a severe punishment would have come upon you for what you have taken.
Were it not a previous ordainment from Allâh, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took.
