﴿ قُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ ٱلَّذِى تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ﴾

“say thou: “It may well be that something of that which [in your ignorance] you so hastily demands has already drawn close unto you.””

(Say) to them, O Muhammad: (It may be) and �may be� when it comes from Allah denotes necessity (that a part of that which ye would hasten on) of punishment at the Day of Badr (is close behind you) is coming soon.
