33 Al-Ahzab(الأحزاب), Ayah 16

قُلْ لَنْ يَنْفَعَكُمُ الْفِرَارُ إِنْ فَرَرْتُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ أَوِ الْقَتْلِ وَإِذًا لَا تُمَتَّعُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا 16 ١٦

Qul lan yanfaAAakumu alfiraru in farartum mina almawti awi alqatli waithan la tumattaAAoona illa qaleelan (16)

Tafsir

( قل ) لهم ( لن ينفعكم الفرار إن فررتم من الموت أو القتل ) الذي كتب عليكم لأن من حضر أجله مات أو قتل ( وإذا لا تمتعون إلا قليلا ) أي : لا تمتعون بعد الفرار إلا مدة آجالكم وهي قليل .

O Messenger, say to these people: “Fleeing will never benefit you if you flee from fighting, out of fear of death or being killed, because the appointed times are fixed, and fighting do not bring them closer nor does fleeing distance them. And if you do flee and your time has not come, you will not be able to enjoy life except for a short while”.
