(Await they aught) do the disbelievers of Mecca, if they disbelieve in you, await anything (save the Hour, that it should come upon them unawares) by surprise?

But how, when it hath come upon them) i.e. the Hour, (can they take their warning) by repenting?

Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Do they then await they do not await namely the disbelievers of Mecca anything except that the Hour should come upon them an ta’tiyahum is an inclusive substitution for al-sā‘ata ‘the Hour’; in other words it cannot be other than that it will come upon them … suddenly? For already its portents the signs thereof have come among which are the sending of the Prophet s the splitting of the Moon Q. 541 and the Smoke Q. 4410. So when it the Hour has come upon them for what benefit will their reminder be? their remembering; in other words it will be of no benefit to them.
