لَّوْلَآ Why not إِذْ when سَمِعْتُمُوهُ you heard it ظَنَّ think ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ the believing men وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتُ and the believing women بِأَنفُسِهِمْ good of themselves خَيْرًۭا good of themselves وَقَالُوا۟ and say هَـٰذَآ This إِفْكٌۭ (is) a lie مُّبِينٌۭ clear ١٢
Why, when you heard it, did not the believing men and believing women think good of themselves [i.e., one another] and say, "This is an obvious falsehood"?
