Ayah 89
Surah Al-A'raaf
We would have invented against Allah a lie if we returned to your religion after Allah had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allah, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allah we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision."﴿89﴾

Simplified Tafsir
وقال شعيب لقومه مستدركًا: قد اختلقنا على الله الكذب إن عُدْنا إلى دينكم بعد أن أنقذنا الله منه، وليس لنا أن نتحول إلى غير دين ربنا إلا أن يشاء الله ربنا، وقد وسع ربنا كل شيء علمًا، فيعلم ما يصلح للعباد، على الله وحده اعتمادنا هداية ونصرة، ربنا احكم بيننا وبين قومنا بالحق، وأنت خير الحاكمين.
