قَالُوٓا۟ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ ءَالِهَتِنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٢٢
They said, "Have you come to delude us away from our gods? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful."
قَالُوا أَجِيْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ الِهَتِنَاHave you come to delude us from our gods,meaning, to prevent us عَنْ الِهَتِنَا (from our gods),فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَThen bring us that with which you threaten us, if you are one of the truthful!They sought to hasten Allah's torment and punishment, believing that it will not happen.This is similar to Allah's saying,يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِينَ لَا يُوْمِنُونَ بِهَاThose who do not believe in it (the Last Hour) seek to hasten it, (42:18).
