51وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ فَزِعُوا۟ فَلَا فَوْتَ وَأُخِذُوا۟ مِن مَّكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ
52وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلتَّنَاوُشُ مِن مَّكَانٍۭ بَعِيدٍ
[51-52] Would that you could see these people when they will be in a state of confusion! They will not be able to escape but will be seized from a place close by.72 Then they will say, "We believe in it,"73 whereas they cannot attain a thing gone far out of hand.74
72That is, "On the Day of Resurrection, every culprit will be seized in a way as though he lay in hiding close by. As he will try to flee, he will be seized immediately."
73"We believe in it": "We believe in the message presented by the Messenger in the world. "
74That is, "They should have believed when they lived in the world; they have come a long way away from it. After having arrived in the Next World how can they get a chance to repent and believe ?"
