Surah Ash-Shura, ayah 14

42:14

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوٓاْ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗى لَّقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُورِثُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ لَفِي شَكّٖ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيبٖ ١٤

Wamā tafarraqū illā mim ba'di mā jā'ahumul-'ilmu baghyā baynahum walawlā kalimatun sabaqat mir rabbika ilā ajalim musammal laqudiya baynahum wa innal-ladhīna ūrithul-kitāba mim ba'dihim lafī shakkim minhu murīb

And they did not become divided until after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And if not for a word1413 that preceded from your Lord [postponing the penalty] until a specified time, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, those who were granted inheritance of the Scripture after them are, concerning it, in disquieting doubt.
