Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

وَأُخِذُواْ مِن مَّكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ(and they will be seized from a near place.) means, they will not even be given the slightest chance of escape, but they will be seized from the first instant. Al-Hasan Al-Basri said: "When they come forth from their graves."وَقَالُواْ ءَامَنَّا بِهِ(And they will say: "We do believe (now);") means, on the Day of Resurrection, they will say, `we believe in Allah and His angels, Books and Messengers.
