(Ad-Dukhan) 44 : 15
إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ
Indeed, We would remove the punishment for a while, but you will be reverting.
The Three-Time Knower Lord is informing about the behaviour of disbelievers of every period—that if the punishment is lifted from them, they would turn back to denial and defiance as before, or even worse. See explanation 6:27-28, 111; and 9:67-68.
