Quran 30:55 — Ar-Room, verse 55
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
On the Day the Hour comes, the guilty will swear they lingered no more than an hour- they have always been deluded-
وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُوا غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَانُوا يُؤْفَكُونَ
wayawma taqūmu l-sāʿatu yuq'simu l-muj'rimūna mā labithū ghayra sāʿatin kadhālika kānū yu'fakūna

- [He it is who will cause you to die, and in time will resurrect you.] And when the Last Hour dawns, those who had been lost in sin will swear that they had not tarried [on earth] longer than an hour: thus were they wont to delude themselves [all their lives]!
- Sahih International
- And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will swear they had remained but an hour. Thus they were deluded.
