Ayah: 66

وَلَوۡ أَنَّا كَتَبۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَنِ ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ أَوِ ٱخۡرُجُواْ مِن دِيَٰرِكُم مَّا فَعَلُوهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۖ وَلَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ فَعَلُواْ مَا يُوعَظُونَ بِهِۦ لَكَانَ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۡ وَأَشَدَّ تَثۡبِيتٗا

66. If We had ordained for them 'saying': ‘Slay yourselves (the guilty ones among you) or ‘Leave from your homes29’, they would not have done it except a few of them; but should they do what they are admonished with, it would have certainly be better for them and best in strengthening (them in Faith);

29. For the sake of your religion as we ordained for the children of Israel.
