وَلَوْلَآ أَن كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْجَلَآءَ لَعَذَّبَهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَذَابُ ٱلنَّارِ ﴿3﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

And had it not been that Allâh had decreed exile for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world; and in the Hereafter theirs shall be the torment of the Fire.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 3) ➊ {وَ لَوْ لَاۤ اَنْ كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجَلَآءَ … : ’’جَلَا يَجْلُوْ جَلاَءً‘‘ (ن) ’’اَلرَّجُلَ‘‘} Expelling a man from his city. That is, Allah Almighty’s prior decision regarding them was to suffice with exiling them, so that it would serve as a lesson for them and they might reform themselves. If He had not previously decreed this, He would have punished them in this world: their men would have been killed and their women and children would have been made slaves, just as later the Banu Qurayza were punished for not taking heed. (See Bukhari: 4032) Here arises a question: is exile not also a punishment? The answer is that by punishment is meant a physical penalty, whose sensation is clear and severe.
➋ { وَ لَهُمْ فِي الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابُ النَّارِ :} That is, if they were saved from the worldly punishment of killing, captivity, and slavery, they should not be complacent; if they persist in disbelief in this way, then a punishment of fire is prepared for them in the Hereafter.

3. 1. That is, if their exile had not already been decreed in Allah’s destiny, they would have been subjected to a severe punishment in this world, just as later their brethren, another Jewish tribe Banu Qurayzah, were subjected to such a punishment: their young men were killed, others were taken captive, and their wealth was made spoils for the Muslims.
