11:8

وَلَئِنْ

أَخَّرْنَا

عَنْهُمُ

الْعَذَابَ

إِلَى

أُمَّةٍ

مَّعْدُودَةٍ

لَّيَقُولُنَّ

مَا

يَحْبِسُهُ

أَلَا

يَوْمَ

يَأْتِيهِمْ

لَيْسَ

مَصْرُوفًا

عَنْهُمْ

وَحَاقَ

بِهِم

مَّا

كَانُوا

بِهِ

يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

wa-la-ʾin ʾakhkharnā ʿanhumu l-ʿadhāba ʾilā ʾummatin maʿdūdatin la-yaqūlunna yaḥbisuhū ʾa-lā yawma yaʾtīhim laysa maṣrūfan ʿanhum wa-ḥāqa bihim kānū bihī yastahziʾūna

If We delay in afflicting them with Our punishment for an appointed time, they ask, "What is preventing it (the punishment) from taking place?" On the day when it (punishment) befalls them, no one will be able to escape from it and that which they have mocked will surround them from all sides.
