Transliteration:( Wa qaaloo Rabbanaa 'ajjil lanaa qittanaa qabla Yawmil Hisaab )
"And they said: 'O our Lord, hasten to us our shares before the Day of Reckoning [26]'."
This verse reflects the mocking attitude of the disbelievers, especially Nadar bin Harith, who would sarcastically demand immediate punishment as proof of the Prophet’s truth.
Instead of fearing the Day of Judgment, they challenged it arrogantly, showing how deeply they were drowned in denial and ignorance of consequences.
The tafsir of Surah Sad verse 16 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Sad ayat 12 which provides the complete commentary from verse 12 through 16.
(38:16) They say: “Our Lord, hasten to us our share (of chastisement) before the Day of Reckoning.”[15]
15. That is, Allah’s torment will be so severe and terrible as mentioned above, but just consider the behavior of these foolish people. They are telling the Prophet mockingly: Do not put off our affairs till the Day of Reckoning with which you are threatening us, but settle our account just now.: Whatever punishment is to be inflicted on us should be inflicted immediately.
