Ghafir • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ فَٱصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّۭ ۚ فَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ ﴾
“HENCE, remain thou patient in adversity - for, verily, God’s promise always comes true. And whether We show thee [in this world] something of what We hold in store for those [deniers of the truth], or whether We cause thee to die [ere that retribution takes place - know that, in the end], it is unto Us that they will be brought back.”
(Then have patience) O Muhammad, in the face of the harm of the disbelievers. (Lo! the promise of Allah) to assist you and destroy your enemies (is true) will happen. (And whether we let thee see a part of that which We promise them) of punishment on the Day of Badr, (or (whether) We cause you to die) before you see it, (still unto us they will be brought back) after they die, whether you see them punished or not.
