Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And when it was said) to them in the life of the world: (Lo! Allah's promise) resurrection after death (is the Truth, and there is no doubt of the Hour's coming, ye said: We know not what the Hour is) we do not know what the coming of the Hour is. (We deem it naught but a conjecture) we only guess, (and we are by no means convinced) of the coming of the Hour.
