سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ
Surah Yunus (10) — Ayah 46
وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ ﴿46﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Whether We show you (in your lifetime, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) some of what We promise them (the torment), or We cause you to die - still unto Us is their return, and moreover, Allâh is Witness over what they used to do.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
46. 1. In this verse, Allah Almighty is saying that regarding these disbelievers, about whom We are making a promise, if they persist in disbelief and polytheism, then the divine punishment can also befall them, just as it befell the previous nations. Some of it, if We send it during your lifetime, that is also possible, which would bring coolness to your eyes. But if you are taken from this world before that, even then it does not matter; ultimately, these disbelievers have to return to Us. We are fully aware of all their deeds and conditions; how will they be able to escape Our punishment there? The very purpose of the occurrence of the Day of Judgment is that there, the obedient ones are rewarded for their obedience and the disobedient ones are punished for their disobedience.
