(Ayah 14) {وَ لَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَتُهٗ … :} That is, if Allah’s grace had not been upon you in this world, that He has given you countless blessings in this world, one of which is that instead of immediately seizing you for your sins, He grants respite, and if His grace had not been upon you in the Hereafter, that He accepts repentance and forgives sins, then because of the act (slander) you were engaged in, a great punishment would have overtaken you.

14. And had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy upon you in this world and the Hereafter, a great punishment would have touched you for what you plunged into.

[18] Allah's grace and mercy was that He granted patience and steadfastness to the Muslims in general and to His Prophet ﷺ in particular during these circumstances. Otherwise, the way the hypocrites had launched such a severe attack on the Muslims, if the Muslims had also risen up in retaliation, the situation could have taken a very grave turn.
