46:35

فَاصْبِرْ كَمَا صَبَرَ اُو𐻾لُوا الْعَزْمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلْ لَهُمْؕ كَاَنَّهُمْ یَوْمَ یَرَوْنَ مَا یُوعَدُونَۙ لَمْ یَلْبَثُٓوا اِلَّا سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍؕ بَلَاغٌۚ فَهَلْ یُهْلَكُ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ

Faisbir kama sabara oloo alAAazmi mina alrrusuli wala tastaAAjil lahum kaannahum yawma yarawna ma yooAAadoona lam yalbathoo illa saAAatan min naharin balaghun fahal yuhlaku illa alqawmu alfasiqoona

Translations

So be patient, [O Muhammad], 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

Saheeh International

Then have patience (O Muhammad) even as the stout of heart among the messengers (of old) had patience, and seek not to hasten on (the doom) for them. On the day when they see that which they are promised (it will seem to them) as though they had tarried but an hour of daylight. A clear message. Shall any be destroyed save evil-living folk
