with Him."

P: Then, when they saw Our doom, they said: We believe in Allah only and
reject (all) that we used to associate (with Him).

S: But when they saw Our punishment, they said: We believe in Allah
alone and we deny what we used to associate with Him.

Y: But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our
Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) Allah's Way of
dealing with His Servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus
did the Rejecters of Allah perish (utterly)!

P: But their faith could not avail them when they saw Our doom. This is
Allah's law which hath ever taken course for His bondmen. And then the
disbelievers will be ruined.

S: But their belief was not going to profit them when they had seen Our
punishment; (this is) Allah's law, which has indeed obtained in the
matter of His servants, and there the unbelievers are lost.
