Explantory Note
The very concept of the hereafter was very difficult for the Arab polytheists to understand. They strongly resisted it. In fact they received it with so much amazement that they denied it outright. They further challenged the Prophet, in various ways, to bring it about or to define its timing. A report attributed to Ibn `Abbas mentions that the man who asked the question quoted in the first verse of the surah was al-Nadr ibn al-Harith. Another report quotes him as saying that the reference is to "the unbelievers' question about God's punishment, which is certain to engulf them."
Regardless of who the specific individual was the surah reports that someone asked about this punishment, indeed, sought to hasten it, and further confirms that it is inevitable because it has been determined by God and that it will soon come. It states that no one can prevent its happening or ward it off Therefore, to question or hasten it is ill-advised. Moreover, this punishment is to befall the unbelievers, in total, which means that those who question it are included like every other unbeliever.
