Qur'an 79:46 An-Nazi'at
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
Saheeh International
What it says
The surah ends with a life measured from the far side of it. Not years, and not even a day: an evening, or the morning that follows one. The whole span they were arguing about the return of turns out to fit between sunset and mid-morning.
