Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Al-Anbiyaa : 111
وَ اِنْ اَدْرِیْ لَعَلَّهٗ فِتْنَةٌ لَّكُمْ وَ مَتَاعٌ اِلٰى حِیْنٍ
I think that this [reprieve] is possibly a trial for you, 103 an opportunity to enjoy yourselves until an appointed time."
103. This was a trial because the delay in the punishment was deluding them into believing: All the things put forward by the Prophet are false. Had he been a true Prophet of Allah, we would have been punished long before this for our disbelief. They did not realize that the reason for the delay was that Allah willed to give them respite for mending their ways.
