A reference to their one-time sarcastic demand that they should be punished for their rejection of the Qur'anic message: cf. {6:57-58} and 8:32 .
They used to say scoffingly, "if there is to be punishment for our sins, let it come at once!" When it comes, they will know what a terrible thing it is! Cf. xxvi. 204, n. 3230.
