Al-Jalalayn Commentary

So be patient. Assuredly God’s promise to chastise them is true. And if We show you fa-immā contains an assimilated conditional particle in; the mā is extra and emphasises the conditional import at the beginning of the verb while the nūn emphasises it at the end a part of what We promise them of chastisement in your lifetime the response to the conditional has been omitted in other words it is something like ‘then so be it!’ … or We take you unto Us in death before their chastisement then in any case to Us they will be returned whereupon We shall chastise them with the most severe punishment this last mentioned response is that of the supplement only.

(Then have patience) O Muhammad, in the face of the harm of the disbelievers. (Lo! the promise of Allah) to assist you and destroy your enemies (is true) will happen. (And whether we let thee see a part of that which We promise them) of punishment on the Day of Badr, (or (whether) We cause you to die) before you see it, (still unto us they will be brought back) after they die, whether you see them punished or not.
