104.We know well what they will say when they will say when the best of them in judgement will say, 'you had stayed only a day'.
The tafsir of Surah Ta-Ha verse 104 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Taha ayat 102 which provides the complete commentary from verse 102 through 104.
(20:104) We know well[81] what they will say to one another: We also know that even the most cautious in his estimate will say: “You lived in the world no more than a day.”[82]
81. This is a parenthesis that has been inserted to remove this doubt of the hearers: How has it been known today what the people will be talking in whispers on the Day of Resurrection?
82. This is another parenthesis which has been inserted in answer to another objection raised by some hearer. It appears that when this Surah was being recited, someone might have raised this question as a ridicule: Where will these high mountains go on the Day of Resurrection, for it appears from your description of Resurrection that all the people of the world will be running about in a level plain? In order to understand the background of the question, it should be kept in mind that Makkah, where this Surah was first recited on the occasion of its revelation, is surrounded on all sides by high mountains. The answer to this question follows immediately: Allah will reduce them to fine dust and scatter it away.
