194. Do not declare holy war on the infidels because of the crueltics or do not make haste in their punishment. All this will certainly coming on its time. In the first condition this verse is abrogated, but in the second it is lasting and tim

195. This if and why is not because of the knowledge of Allah Almughts. He is All-knowing and Omniscient. Its true objectne is to show that same of the punishments will come upon the indels during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet. The defeat at Badr, Hunain, and some after the earthly life of the Holy Prophet like during the tume of the Noble Companions, especially Juring the time of Hazrat Umar Farouk (May Allah be pleased with him) the disgrace of Muslim victories in the Battle of Yarmuk, Qadisiyah, etc.

Ibn-Kathir

77. So be patient, verily, the promise of Allah is true and whether We show you some part of what We have promised them, or We cause you to die, then still it is to Us they all shall be returned. 78. And, indeed We have sent Messengers before you, of some of them We have related to you their story. And of some We have not related to you their story, and it was not given to any Messenger that he should bring a sign except by the leave of Allah. But, when comes the commandment of Allah, the matter will be decided with truth, and the followers of falsehood will then be lost.


The Command to be Patient and Good News of Victory

Here Allah commands His Messenger to patiently bear the rejection of those who rejected him: `Allah will fulfill His promise to you that you will be victorious and will prevail over your people, and you and those who follow you, will be the successful ones in this world and the Hereafter.’

﴿فَـإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ﴾

(and whether We show you some part of what We have promised them,) means, in this world, and this is what happened, for Allah gave them the joy of humiliating the leaders and nobles (of the Quraysh), who were killed on the day of Badr, then Allah granted them victory over Makkah and the entire Arabian Peninsula during the lifetime of the Prophet .

﴿أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ﴾

(or We cause you to die, then still it is to Us they all shall be returned.) means, `and We shall inflict a severe punishment upon them in the Hereafter.’ Then Allah says, consoling ﴿His Prophet ﴾:

﴿وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلاً مِّن قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُم مَّن قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ﴾

(And, indeed We have sent Messengers before you, of some of them We have related to you their story.) as Allah also says in Surat An-Nisa’, meaning, `We have revealed the stories of some of them and how their people disbelieved in them, but the Messengers ultimately prevailed.’

﴿وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ﴾

(And of some We have not related to you their story, ) and they are many, many more than those whose stories have been told, as has been stated in Surat An-Nisa’. Praise and blessings be to Allah.

﴿وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِـَايَةٍ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ﴾

(and it was not given to any Messenger that he should bring a sign except by the leave of Allah.) means, none of the Prophets was able to bring miracles to his people except when Allah granted him permission to do that as a sign of the truth of the message he brought to them.

﴿فَإِذَا جَـآءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ﴾

(But, when comes the commandment of Allah,) means, His punishment and vengeance which will encompass the disbelievers,

﴿قُضِىَ بِالْحَقِّ﴾

(the matter will be decided with truth,) so the believers will be saved and the disbelievers will be destroyed. Allah says:

﴿وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ﴾

(and the followers of falsehood will then be lost.)

(40:77) So be patient,[105] (O Prophet). Surely Allah’s promise is true. Whether We show them a part of the woeful consequences against which We warn them (while you are still in their midst) or We recall you (from this world) before that, eventually it is to Us that they shall be brought back.[106]

105. That is, you should have patience at what those people say and do, who are opposing you by disputation and wrangling and want to defeat you by mean devices.

106. That is, it is not necessary that We should punish every such person who has tried to harm you, in this world and during yow lifetime. Whether a person receives his punishment here or not, he cannot in any case escape our grasp: He has to return to Us after death. Then he will receive full punishment of his misdeeds.
