The Holy Quran 27:72 — Surah An-Naml

Arabic text

قُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ ٱلَّذِى تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Translation

Say (to these Kuffaar), "Perhaps a part of that (punishment) that you seek to hurry is close behind you (and may strike at any moment)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The promised punishment is near: that is, do not be anxious; the promise will certainly be fulfilled. And it is not at all unlikely that some part of the promise has already drawn near (and indeed, not many days passed before one instalment of the punishment reached them at “Badr”).
