{of your Lord}," meaning: the rising of the sun from its setting place. In the interpretation of the majority, {on the day that some of the signs of your Lord will come}—the rising of the sun from its setting place—{a soul will not benefit from its faith if it had not believed before, or earned good in its faith}. Al-Kalbi said:

Repentance will not be accepted on that day from anyone who was not a believer, nor from anyone who claimed faith if they were not sincere.

Yahya, from Uthman, from Nu'aym ibn Abd Allah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The Hour shall not arrive until the sun rises from its setting place. When the people see it, they will believe, but that is the time when a soul will not benefit from its faith if it had not believed before, or earned good in its faith."

{Say: Wait, indeed we are waiting.} The polytheists were waiting for death to befall the Prophet, while the Prophet was waiting for the punishment to befall them.

Surah Al-An'am from verse (159) to verse (160).
