وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ ۖ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طَاغِينَ
We had no power over you. In fact, you were a people rebellious.

And we did not have any warrant any sway or power over you to compel you to follow us. Nay but you yourselves were a rebellious folk astray like us.

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ ۖ بَلْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا طَاغِينَ
