wa-law yuʾākhidhu llāhu n-nāsa bi-ẓulmihim taraka ʿalayhā min dābbatin wa-lākin yuʾakhkhiruhum ʾilā ʾajalin musamman fa-ʾidhā jāʾa ʾajaluhum yastaʾkhirūna sāʿatan wa-lā yastaqdimūna

Were Allah to take mankind to task for their wrongdoing, He would not leave any living being upon it. But He respites them until a specified time; so when their time comes they shall not defer it by a single hour nor shall they advance it.
