46:35
فَٱصْبِرْكَمَاصَبَرَأُو۟لُوا۟ٱلْعَزْمِمِنَٱلرُّسُلِوَلَاتَسْتَعْجِللَّهُمْ ۚكَأَنَّهُمْيَوْمَيَرَوْنَمَايُوعَدُونَلَمْيَلْبَثُوٓا۟إِلَّاسَاعَةًمِّننَّهَارٍۭ ۚبَلَٰغٌ ۚفَهَلْيُهْلَكُإِلَّاٱلْقَوْمُٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ٣٥
fa-iṣ'bir kamā ṣabara ulū l-ʿazmi mina l-rusuli walā tastaʿjil lahum ka-annahum yawma yarawna mā yūʿadūna lam yalbathū illā sāʿatan min nahārin balāghun fahal yuh'laku illā l-qawmu l-fāsiqūna

So be patient, [O Muḥammad], as were those of determination among the messengers and do not be impatient for them. It will be - on the Day they see that which they are promised - as though they had not remained [in the world] except an hour of a day. [This is] notification. And will [any] be destroyed except the defiantly disobedient people?(35)
