Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 46:22

Open in Qurani

قالوا أجيتنا لتٲفكنا عن آلهتنا

Have you come to delude us from our gods, meaning, to prevent us

عن آلهتنا

(from our gods),

فٲتنا بما تعدنا إن كنت من الصادقين

Then bring us that with which you threaten us, if you are one of the truthful! They sought to hasten Allah's torment and punishment, believing that it will not happen. This is similar to Allah's saying,

يستعجل بها الذين ﻻ يومنون بها

Those who do not believe in it (the Last Hour) seek to hasten it, (42:18)
