فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيٓـَٔتْ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَقِيلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ ﴿27﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
But when they will see it (the torment on the Day of Resurrection) approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will change and turn black with sadness and in grief and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise) which you were calling for!"

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 27) {فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيْٓـَٔتْ … : ’’ زُلْفَةً ‘‘ ’’زَلَفَ يَزْلُفُ‘‘} (ن) is an infinitive noun in the meaning of an active participle, near. {’’ تَدَّعُوْنَ ‘‘ ’’دَعَا يَدْعُوْ‘‘} is a present tense verb from the form "ifti‘āl," in which the "tā" of "ifti‘āl" is changed to "dāl" and then assimilated into the "dāl." Now, the Resurrection which they consider a joke and for which they repeatedly make bold demands, when they see it approaching, all their mockery and arrogance will be forgotten, their faces will be distorted with fear and terror, and it will be said: This is the Resurrection you used to demand.
