Tafsir Al-Jalalayn: Al-Qasas, Ayah 63
قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلُ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَغْوَيْنَآ أَغْوَيْنَٰهُمْ كَمَا غَوَيْنَا ۖ تَبَرَّأْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ۖ مَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِيَّانَا يَعْبُدُونَ
Those upon whom the word will have come into effect will say, "Our Lord, these are the ones we led to error. We led them to error just as we were in error. We declare our disassociation [from them] to You. They did not used to worship us."

(Those concerning whom the Word) of wrath and torment, i.e. the leaders, (will have come true) has been enjoined upon (will say: Our Lord!) O our Lord! (These) lowly people (are they whom we led astray) we led to error. (We led them astray) we misled them from the Truth and guidance (even as we ourselves were astray. We declare our innocence before You) we exonerate ourselves from them: (us they never worshipped) i.e. by our command.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Those against whom the Word of punishment will have become due the justified Word that they be admitted into the Fire — and these are the leaders of misguidance — they shall say ‘Our Lord! These are the ones whom we led astray hā’ūlā’i’lladhīna aghwaynā is both a subject and an adjectival qualification. We led them astray aghwaynāhum the predicate thereof and they went astray even as we went astray — we did not compel them to follow error. We declare our innocence of them before You; it was not us that they worshipped’ mā ‘not’ is for negation; the direct object iyyānā ‘us’ precedes the verb ya‘budūna ‘they worshipped’ in order to concord with the end-rhyme of the verses.
