وَلَوْلَٓا اَنْ تُصٖیبَهُمْ مُصٖیبَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَیْدٖیهِمْ فَیَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَٓا اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَیْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ اٰیَاتِكَ وَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنٖینَ

Walawla an tuseebahum museebatun bima qaddamat aydeehim fayaqooloo rabbana lawla arsalta ilayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatika wanakoona mina almumineena

Translations

And if not that a disaster should strike them for what their hands put forth [of sins] and they would say, "Our Lord, why did You not send us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses and been among the believers

Saheeh International

Otherwise, if disaster should afflict them because of that which their own hands have sent before (them), they might say: Our Lord! Why sentest Thou no messenger unto us, that we might have followed Thy revelations and been of the believers
