Surah At-Tariq Ayat 17

Allah menyuruh Nabi Muhammad agar meneruskan dakwahnya dan tidak mengharapkan agar orang kafir cepat-cepat mendapat siksa. Allah menangguhkan siksa-Nya agar dosa mereka bertambah banyak, sehingga bila Allah menurunkan azab-Nya nanti, tidak akan ada seorang pun lagi yang menaruh kasihan kepada mereka. Allah berfirman: Kami biarkan mereka bersenang-senang sebentar, kemudian Kami paksa mereka (masuk) ke dalam azab yang keras. (Luqman/31: 24)

So respite O Muhammad (s) the disbelievers; grant them respite reiterated as an emphasis one enhanced by the use of a different form mahhil amhil that is to say put them off for a little ruwaydā is a verbal noun emphasising the import of the operator and is the diminutive form of rūd or irwad with shortening of final consonant ruwaydan ruwaydā. Surely enough God exalted be He seized them at Badr and abrogated the dispensation of ‘granting respite’ by the ‘sword’ verse in other words by the command to fight and struggle.
