﴿ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ ءَاذَنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰ سَوَآءٍۢ ۖ وَإِنْ أَدْرِىٓ أَقَرِيبٌ أَم بَعِيدٌۭ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ ﴾
“But if they turn away, say: “I have proclaimed this in equity unto all of you alike; but I do not know whether that [judgment] which you are promised [by God] is near or far [in time].”
(But if they are averse) from faith and sincerity, (then say) to them, O Muhammad: (I have warned you) I have informed you, and as such you and I have become (all alike) both of us are openly aware of the matter and there is no secret, (although I know not whether nigh or far is that which ye are promised) of chastisement.
