لَوْلَا كِتٰبٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِیْمَاۤ اَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟

Saheeh International
If not for a decree from Allāh that preceded, you would have been touched for what you took by a great punishment.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
Were it not for a decree from Allah – in which it had already been decided that He would make the gains of war lawful for you and permit you to ransom captives – a severe punishment from Allah would have afflicted you because of the gains of war and ransom you took from the captives at Badr before the coming of revelation from Allah that permitted it.
