15:4
وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ٤
And We destroyed no township but there was a known decree for it.
And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.
Whenever We destroyed a town, a definite term had previously been decreed for it.
يَقُولُ تَعَالَى: إِنَّهُ مَا أَهْلَكَ قَرْيَةً إِلَّا بَعْدَ قِيَامِ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهَا وَانْتِهَاءِ أَجَلِهَا، وَإِنَّهُ لَا يُؤَخِّرُ أُمَّةً حَانَ هَلَاكُهَا [[في ت: "هلاكهم".]] عَنْ مِيقَاتِهَا وَلَا يَتَقَدَّمُونَ عَنْ مُدَّتِهِمْ. وَهَذَا تَنْبِيهٌ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، وَإِرْشَادٌ لَهُمْ إِلَى الإقلاع عما هَمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ وَالْعِنَادِ وَالْإِلْحَادِ، الَّذِي يَسْتَحِقُّونَ بِهِ الْهَلَاكَ.
