وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكَ لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ ٱلْعِقَابِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ

سُورَةُ الأَعۡرَافِ
English — Sahih International
And [mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.

اور یاد کرو جبکہ تمہارے رب نے اعلان کر دیا کہ "وہ قیامت تک برابر ایسے لوگ بنی اسرائیل پر مسلط کرتا رہے گا جو ان کو بدترین عذاب دیں گے،" یقیناً تمہارا رب سزا دینے میں تیز دست ہے اور یقیناً وہ در گزر اور رحم سے بھی کام لینے والا ہے
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Dan (ingatlah), ketika Tuhanmu memberitahukan, bahwa sesungguhnya Dia akan mengirim kepada mereka (orang-orang Yahudi) sampai hari kiamat orang-orang yang akan menimpakan kepada mereka azab yang seburuk-buruknya. Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu amat cepat siksa-Nya, dan sesungguhnya Dia adalah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.
Ibn Kathir
Eternal Humiliation placed on the Jews
تَأَذَّنَ
(Ta'dhdhana) means `declared', according to Mujahid, or `ordained', according to others. This part of the Ayah indicates a vow,
لَيَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ
(that He will keep on sending against them) against the Jews,
إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَـمَةِ مَن يَسُومُهُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ
(till the Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating torment.) on account of their disobedience, defying Allah's orders and Law and using tricks to transgress the prohibitions. It was reported that Musa required the Jews to pay the production tax for seven or thirteen years, and he was the first to do so. Also, the Jews fell under the humiliating rule of the Greek Kushdanin, Chaldeans and later on the Christians, who subjugated and disgraced them, and required them to pay the Jizyah (tribute tax). When Islam came and Muhammad was sent, they became under his power and had to pay the Jizyah, as well. Therefore, the humiliating torment mentioned here includes disgrace and paying the Jizyah, as Al-`Awfi narrated from Ibn `Abbas. In the future, the Jews will support the Dajjal (False Messiah); and the Muslims, along with `Isa, son of Mary, will kill the Jews. This will occur just before the end of this world. Allah said next,
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَسَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ
(Verily, your Lord is quick in retribution), with those who disobey Him and defy His Law,
وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
(and certainly He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.) for those who repent and go back to Him. This Ayah mentions both the mercy, as well as, the punishment, so that no despair is felt. Allah often mentions encouragement and warning together, so that hearts always have a sense of hope and fear.
المُيَسَّر
واذكر -أيها الرسول- إذ علم ذلك إعلامًا صريحًا ليبعثن على اليهود مَن يذيقهم سوء العذاب والإذلال إلى يوم القيامة. إن ربك -أيها الرسول- لسريع العقاب لِمَن استحقه بسبب كفره ومعصيته، وإنه لغفور عن ذنوب التائبين، رحيم بهم.
