Transliteration:( Yu'azzibu many yashaaa'u wa yarhamu many yashaaa'; wa ilaihi tuqlaboon )
45. This means that He can punish any sinful believer and forgive anyone out of His Mercy. In this is included the forgiveness of the Prophets as well as those whose salvation has been promised likewise, the infidels are not included herein, because the punishment of the pious and the forgiveness of the infidels is absolutely impossible. Thus, this verse cannot be used as a proof for the possibility of Allah telling a lie, because no mention is made here of a possibility. However, mention is made here of an occurence, and such a meaning will make the occurence of a lie by Allah Almighty (May Allah forbid) a possibility. The next verse acknowledges the above.
