Commentary
And when he indicated that they did not leave any way in exaggerating in the denial of the Hour, he indicated that they, in the threat of the Hour and other punishments of Allah, were more exaggerated. So he said: ﴿And they say﴾ with the present tense indicating renewal at every moment for continuity: ﴿When is this promise﴾? And they called it a promise to show affection, mocking it. And it is the punishment, resurrection, and recompense. ﴿If you are﴾ that is: you and whoever follows you, being in the utmost firmness, as you claim, ﴿truthful﴾.
