Saba 34:51

Word by word

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ فَزِعُوا۟ فَلَا فَوْتَ وَأُخِذُوا۟ مِن مَّكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ

And if you could see when they are terrified but there is no escape, and they will be seized from a place nearby.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

ولو ترى -أيها الرسول- إذ فَزِعَ الكفار حين معاينتهم عذاب الله، لرأيت أمرًا عظيمًا، فلا نجاة لهم ولا مهرب، وأُخذوا إلى النار من موضع قريب التناول.
