39:56

أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌۭ يَـٰحَسْرَتَىٰ عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطتُ فِى جَنۢبِ ٱللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ ٱلسَّـٰخِرِينَ ٥٦

Saheeh International

Lest a soul should say, "Oh [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allah and that I was among the mockers."

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَى علَى مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنبِ اللَّهِLest a person should say:"Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allah..."means, on the Day of Resurrection, the sinner who neglected to repent and turn back to Allah will regret it, and will wish that he had been one of the righteous who obeyed Allah.وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَand I was indeed among those who mocked.means, `my actions in this world were those of one who ridicules and makes fun, not of one who has firm faith and is sincere.'أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ
