If You would show me that with which they are threatened.) meaning, `if You punish them while I am witnessing that, then do not cause me to be one of them.' As was said in the Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad and At-Tirmidhi, who graded it Sahih: «وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ بِقَومٍ فِتْنَةً فَتَوفَّنِي إِلَيْكَ غَيْرَ مَفْتُون» (If You want to test people, then take me to You cause me to die without having to undergo the test.) وَإِنَّا عَلَى أَن نُّرِيَكَ مَا نَعِدُهُمْ لَقَدِرُونَ (And indeed We are able to show you that with which We have threatened them.) means, `if We willed, We could show you the punishment and test that We will send upon them.'
