Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Disbeliever's warning of the Day of DistressAllah, the Exalted, says informing about the disbelievers on the Day of Resurrection that they will be made to have the clearest hearing and sight. This is as Allah says,وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذِ الْمُجْرِمُونَ نَاكِسُواْ رُءُوسِهِمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ رَبَّنَآ أَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا(And if you only could see when the criminals hang their heads before their Lord (saying): "Our Lord! We have now seen and heard.
