Transliteration:( Musawwamatan 'inda Rabbik; wa maa hiya minaz zaalimena biba'eed )
170. This means wherever these stones had fallen, that place is not far from the infidels of Makkah. It is found on their route. Or it means punishment can descend upon them as well. It is only due to your auspicious presence oh My Beloved Rasool that they are saved from such punishment. Says Allah Almighty: "And Allah is not one to chastise them, till (0 beloved Prophet) you are in their midst" (S8:V33).

The tafsir of Surah Hud verse 83 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Hud ayat 82 which provides the complete commentary from verse 82 through 83.
(11:83) marked from your Lord.[92] Nor is the punishment far off from the wrong-doers.[93]
92. That is, every stone had been specified by Allah to do some particular work of destruction there, and to hit a particular offender.
93. This was meant to warn the workers of iniquity who were engaged in their evil work, as if to say: You should not consider yourselves immune from scourge as though it were far from you. If it could visit the people of Prophet Lot (peace be upon him), it could overpower you as well. Neither the people of Prophet Lot (peace be upon him) were able to defend themselves against Allah, nor can you frustrate Him now.
