And these only wait for a single blast, and there shall be no delaying it.
Important Words:
فواق (delaying) is derived from فاق. They say فاقت الناقة i.e. the she-camel had in her udder the milk that had collected between two milkings. فواق means, the time between two milkings; the time between two suckings; the returning of the milk into the udder of the she-camel after the milking; the time between the opening of one’s hand and the grasping with it the udder of the she-camel; or when the milker grasps the udder and then lets it go in milking. They say ما أقام عندہ الافواقاً i.e. he did not stay with him but as long as between two milkings of a she-camel i.e. for a very short time (Lane).
Commentary:
The verse means to say that the whole attitude of disbelievers shows that they will not accept the truth till Divine punishment overtakes them, but when it comes, it would be swift and sudden and they would be granted no respite or delay.
