Transliteration:( Zooqoo fitnatakum haa zal lazee kuntum bihee tas ta'jiloon )
12. These words would be spoken by Allah Almighty directly. Or, the angels of punishment or the gatekeeper of Hell would peak them. Where it is said that We will not speak to them, words of mercy and love are intended. Thus, there is no inconsistency in the verse.
The tafsir of Surah Ad-Dhariyat verse 14 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Dhariyat ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 14.
11. The word fitnah gives two meanings here:
(1) Taste this torment of yours.
(2) Taste the mischief that you had created and spread in the world.
12. The disbelievers asking: When will the Day of Retribution be, implied: Why is it being delayed. That is, when we have denied it and have deserved the punishment for belying it, why doesn’t it overtake us immediately. That is why when they will be burning in the Hell-fire, at that time it will be said to them: This is that which you sought to be hastened. This sentence by itself gives the meaning: It was Allah’s kindness that He did not seize you immediately on the occurrence of disobedience from you and went on giving you respite after respite to think and understand and mend your ways. But the foolish people that you were, you did not take advantage of the respite but demanded that your doom should be hastened for you instead. Now you may see for yourself what it was that you were seeking to be hastened?
