14
وَما تَفَرَّقوا إِلّا مِن بَعدِ ما جاءَهُمُ العِلمُ بَغيًا بَينَهُم ۚ وَلَولا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَت مِن رَبِّكَ إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى لَقُضِيَ بَينَهُم ۚ وَإِنَّ الَّذينَ أورِثُوا الكِتابَ مِن بَعدِهِم لَفي شَكٍّ مِنهُ مُريبٍ

Aisha Bewley

They only split up after knowledge came to them, tyrannising one another. And were it not for a prior decree from your Lord for a specified term, the judgement between them would already have been made. Those who inherited the Book after them are indeed in grave doubt about it.
