Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

No One knows when the Day of Resurrection will come except AllahHere Allah tells His Messenger that he cannot know when the Hour will come, and if people ask him about that, He instructs him to refer the matter to Allah, may He be exalted, as Allah says in Surat Al-A`raf, even though that was revealed in Makkah and this Surah was revealed in Al-Madinah.
