we did not send any apostle but to be obeyed by allahs leave. had they when they wronged themselves come to you and pleaded to allah for forgiveness and the apostle had pleaded for them for forgiveness they would have surely found allah allclement allmerciful.
وما أرسلنا من رسول إلا ليطاع بإذن الله ولو أنهم إذ ظلموا أنفسهم جاءوك فاستغفروا الله واستغفر لهم الرسول لوجدوا الله توابا رحيما
