Transliteration:( Wa hasibooo allaa takoona fitnatun fa'amoo wa sammoo summa taabal laahu 'alaihim summa 'amoo wa sammoo kaseerum minhum; wallaahu baseerum bimaa ya'maloon )
212. Allah Almighty accepted their repentance saving them from the clutches of the cruel king Bakht Nasr. This king disgraced and persecuted them. Then one Persian king overpowered Bakht Nasr to free them. It should be remembered that Allah accepted the repentance of children whose parents were responsible for martyring Prophets, not the repentance of their parents. Allah did not guide the killers of Prophets to repent and the repentance of insulters of Prophets by religious law is never accepted
213. They became infidels by intending to martyr Hazrat Isa (May Allah be pleased with him) but they failed. It should be remembered that in this verse "most" is not the subject of "became deaf", its subject is "them". "Most" is actually its substitute. Otherwise "They became deaf" would not have been in the plural. From this, it becomes apparent that on the first occasion not all but some became deaf and dumb because here the word "most" is used which was not mentioned earlier.
