Transliteration:( Sunnata man qad arsalnaa qablakamir Rusulinaa wa laa tajidu lisunnatinaa tahweelaa )
166. This means those people who banished their Prophet's out of their localities, they themselves were not given the opportunity to reside therein and were plunged into punishment.
167. It should be remembered that nobody can change the laws of Allah Almighty. Only if He wishes to change these to show His power that it can be done. Although the Makkans got the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم out of the city, no punishment came upon them. In fact, many of them received guidance to accept Islam. This is the favour of Allah Almighty and the mercy of the Holy Prophet. That the fire did not burn Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) and the knife did not slaughter Hazrat Ismail (On whom be peace) are an example of changes in the laws of Allah Almighty which could not have been effected by anyone else.
