قَالَ إِنَّمَا ٱلْعِلْمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَأُبَلِّغُكُم مَّآ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ Qur’an Al-Ahqaf (46:23)
Q a la innam a alAAilmu AAinda All a hi waoballighukum m a orsiltu bihi wal a kinnee ar a kum qawman tajhaloon a
Said he: "Knowledge [of when it is to befall you] rests with God alone: I but convey unto you the message with which I have been entrusted; but I see that you are people ignorant [of right and wrong]!"

The Prophet Hud said: "The Knowledge of when it is going to come is only with Allah. I am only conveying the Message with which I have been sent, however, I can see that you are ignorant people."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
He responded, 'The knowledge 'of its time' is only with Allah. I only convey to you what I have been sent with. But I can see that you are a people acting ignorantly.'

He said: The knowledge is with Allah only. I convey unto you that wherewith I have been sent, but I see you are a folk that know not.

He said: "The Knowledge (of when it will come) is only with Allah: I proclaim to you the mission on which I have been sent: but I see that ye are a people in ignorance!"... 4801
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The coming of the Punishment for evil was (and is always) certain. At what particular time it would come he could not tell. It is not for the prophet, but for Allah, to bring on the Penalty. But he saw that it was useless to appeal to them on account of the ignorance in which they were content to dwell.
