An-Nazi'at 79:42–46
They ask you about the Hour
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ٤٢ فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ٤٣ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ٤٤ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ٤٥ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ٤٦
The meaning, simply
The idolaters ask you, O Prophet, peace be upon him, when the Hour will come. Its knowledge is not with you; it is with Allah alone. You are only a warner to those who fear it. On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had lived in this world only an evening or a morning.
