وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
(10:48) They say:'If what you promise is true, when will this threat be fulfilled?'
قُل لَّآ أَمۡلِكُ لِنَفۡسِي ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعًا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌۚ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ
(10:49) Tell them: 'I have no power to harm or benefit even myself, except
what Allah may will.7 There is an appointed term for every people;
and when the end of their term comes, neither can they put it off for an hour,
nor can they bring it an hour before.8

(10:50) Tell them: 'Did you consider (what you would do) were His chastisement
to fall upon you suddenly by night or by day? So why are the culprits seeking
to hasten its coming?

(10:51) Is it only when this chastisement has actually overtaken you that
you will believe in it? (And when the chastisement will surprise you), you will
try to get away from it, although it is you who had sought to hasten its coming.'
