He was answered, “In but a short while they are to be sorry.”
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
(Allah) said: 'In a little while they will be remorseful'
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
"Rest assured," said Allah to His Messenger, " their defiance and their pride are short-lived and soon enough shall they be really sorry and shall weep a rain of sorrows."
