His saying: قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا "Say: Wait then." The Exalted, whose praise is sublime, says to His Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ: Say, O Muḥammad, to these polytheists (mushrikīn) who say to you: "You are a poet; we wait to see what vicissitude of time will befall you" — wait then, that is to say: wait and be patient in expectation of the vicissitude of time that might befall me, for I, together with you, am among those who wait to see what will come upon you, until the command of Allah befalls you.
