Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Al-Ahqaf, Ayah 3
مَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّۭى ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَمَّآ أُنذِرُوا۟ مُعْرِضُونَ
We did not create the heavens and earth and what is between them except in truth and [for] a specified term. But those who disbelieve, from that of which they are warned, are turning away.

We have not created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except as a creation in truth so that it may be an indication of Our power and Our Oneness and for an appointed term until the point of their annihilation on the Day of Resurrection. Yet those who disbelieve are disregardful of what they are warned of what they are threatened with in the way of impending chastisement.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them) of creation and marvels (save with truth) save for the Truth, (and for a term appointed) to which everything proceeds. (But those who disbelieve) the disbelievers of Mecca (turn away from that whereof they are warned) disbelieve in Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur'an.
