Aja (Korano eilutė): 164

وَإِذۡ قَالَتۡ أُمَّةٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ لِمَ تَعِظُونَ قَوۡمًا ٱللَّهُ مُهۡلِكُهُمۡ أَوۡ مُعَذِّبُهُمۡ عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗاۖ قَالُواْ مَعۡذِرَةً إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَّقُونَ

(164) ˹Mention˺ When a group of them said ˹to another group˺: “Why do you admonish ˹those˺ folks whom Allah will surely destroy or punish severely?” They said: “As an apology in front of your Lord^[1804] and that they might be Mindful”.

[1804] Maʿdhirah is no more than an alibi. One they provided so that they would not be held accountable for not admonishing those who flouted a commandment (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, Ibn ʿĀshūr).
