* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ وَلَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ أَقْطَارِهَا ثُمَّ سُئِلُواْ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ لآتَوْهَا وَمَا تَلَبَّثُواْ بِهَآ إِلاَّ يَسِيراً }

And had they been invaded in it namely Medina from all sides and had they been exhorted in other words had the invaders exhorted them to treachery a return to idolatrous ways they would have committed it read la-ātawhā or la-atawhā meaning ‘they would have offered it’ or ‘they would have committed it’ respectively and would have hesitated thereupon but a little.
