In the Qur'an: Yunus 10:48
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"
আর তারা বলে, ‘যদি তোমরা সত্যবাদী হও, (তবে বল) এ প্রতিশ্রুতি কবে ফলবে?’
اور وہ کہتے ہیں کہ کب یہ (عذاب کا) وعدہ پورا ہوگا اگر تم سچے ہو ؟
और वे कहते हैं कि यह वादा कब पूरा होगा, यदि तुम सच्चे होॽ
Mereka mengatakan: "Bilakah (datangnya) ancaman itu, jika memang kamu orang-orang yang benar?"
Doğru iseniz bu vaad (azap) ne zamandır? diyorlar.
و میگویند: «اگر راست میگویید این وعده (عذاب) کی خواهد بود؟!».
Et ils disent «A quand cette promesse, si vous êtes véridiques»?
