وَلَا نُكَذِّبَ…ونَكُونَ
wa-lā nukadhdhiba…wa-nakūna
“If only we could be returned, so we would not reject…and so we would be among the believers!”
These two verbs are accusative as a kind of consequence to their wish to be returned (nuraddu).
وَلَا نُكَذِّبُ…ونَكُونُ
wa-lā nukadhdhibu…wa-nakūnu
“If only we could be returned, and not reject…and be among the believers!” OR “If only we could be returned! We do not reject…and we are (now) among the believers!”
In this reading, the two verbs are indicative because they are conjoined to nuraddu, so part of their wish. Some scholars allowed that they be read as a new sentence declaring faith on the Day of Judgement, which will not be accepted from them.
وَلَا نُكَذِّبُ…ونَكُونَ
wa-lā nukadhdhibu…wa-nakūna
“If only we could be returned, and not reject…and so we would be among the believers!”
