The tafsir of Surah Muddaththir verse 9 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Muddaththir ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 10.
8. As already explained in the introduction, this part of the Surah was sent down a few months after the initial verses when at the beginning of the first ever Hajj season, after the advent of Islam, the Quraish chiefs decided in a conference to start a powerful propaganda campaign to dissuade the outsiders, who came to visit the Kabah, from the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In these verses, this very scheming of the Quraish has been reviewed, and the review has begun with the words, as if to say: You may act as you please, but even if you succeed in achieving your object by these devices in the world, how will you save yourselves from your evil end on the Day when the Trumpet will be sounded and Resurrection will be established. For explanation of the Trumpet, see (Surah Al-Anaam, ayat 73) note 47; (Surah Ibrahim, ayat 48) note 57; (Surah TaHa, ayat 102) note 78; (Surah Al-Hajj, ayat 1) note 1; (Surah YaSin, ayat 50-51) note 46-47, (Surah Az-Zumar, ayat 68) note 79; (Surah Qaf, ayat 41) note 52.
