سُوْرَةُ هُوْدٍ
Surah Hud (11) — Ayah 110
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ فَٱخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍ ﴿110﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Indeed, We gave the Book to Mûsâ (Moses), but differences arose therein, and had it not been for a Word that had gone forth before from your Lord, the case would have been judged between them, and indeed they are in grave doubt concerning it (this Qur’ân).

110. 1. That is, some accepted this Book and some did not. The Prophet is being consoled that the same happened with previous prophets; some people believed in them and others denied them. Therefore, do not be distressed by their denial.
110. 2. This means that if Allah had not already fixed a time for their punishment, He would have destroyed them immediately.
