سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 30
وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ وُقِفُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ هَـٰذَا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّنَا ۚ قَالَ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ ﴿30﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
If you could but see when they will be held (brought and made to stand) in front of their Lord! He will say: "Is not this (Resurrection and the taking of the accounts) the truth?" They will say: "Yes, by our Lord!" He will then say: "So taste you the torment because you used not to believe."

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 30) ➊ {وَ لَوْ تَرٰۤى اِذْ وُقِفُوْا …:} In the previous verse, the statement of the disbelievers has been mentioned, which they used to say in the world, and now their condition in the Hereafter is being described.
➋ {قَالَ اَلَيْسَ هٰذَا بِالْحَقِّ … :} If only you could see the scene when they will be made to stand before their Lord and will be asked whether this (Hereafter and reward and punishment) is not the truth. Now they will completely change their statement and will swear and acknowledge the truth of the Day of Resurrection, but this acknowledgment at that time will not benefit them at all. Rather, Allah will say: Then taste the punishment because of your disbelief. In the Noble Qur’an, their wish on the Day of Resurrection and its rejection has been mentioned in several places. See Surah Al-Mu’minun (107, 108) and Surah As-Sajdah (12).
