The Holy Quran 44:15 — Surah Ad-Dukhan

Arabic text

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ

Translation

(However,) We shall alleviate (remove) the punishment (the drought) for a (little) while, but you people will certainly return (to kufr and Shirk). (As the Qur'aan predicted, when the rains fell and the grain arrived, they broke their promise and continued living as Mushrikeen.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The Obstinacy of the Disbelievers: that is, if We remove the punishment for a little while, they will again do the same things they used to do before. According to the interpretation of Ibn Mas'ud, the meaning will be: “Very well, We are removing this punishment for a short time. Then you will see: they will do the same as they did before.”
