(9:39:2) إِلَّا تَنْفِرُوا يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا . Should تَنْفِرُوا not be فعل مضارع مجزوم because of shart?

If not then what makes it فعل مضارع منصوب?

You're right. تَنْفِرُوا should be فعل مضارع مجزوم .

V – 2nd person masculine plural imperfect verb, jussive mood.

Correction should also be made to 9:39:1
