Then is it that when it has [actually] occurred you will believe in it? Now? And you were [once] for it impatient

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Or is it that they will believe after the promised punishment has come down upon them, when believing will not benefit anyone who had not previously brought faith? Is it now that they will believe? And before they were seeking to hasten it because they did not believe in it?!
