Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Disbelievers thought that the Day of Resurrection would never come to passAllah tells us how the disbelievers thought that the Day of Resurrection would never come to pass, as they said:مَتَى هَـذَا الْوَعْدُ("When will this promise be fulfilled...")يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهَا(Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it) (42:18).
