[20].Surah Taha [Tâ-Hâ]: Ayat 102-104

Ayat 102. The Day when the Trumpet will be blown (the second blowing): that Day, We shall gather the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, etc.) Zurqa: (blue or blind eyed with black faces).
Ayat 103. In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)."
Ayat 104. We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: "You stayed no longer than a day!"
[Tafseer] The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear-eyed (with terror). Zurqa = having eyes different from normal colour, which in the East is black and white: having blue eyes, or eyes afflicted with dimness or blindness, or squint; hence metaphorically, blear-eyed (with terror). In whispers will they consult each other: "Yet tarried not longer than ten (Days); Faced with eternity, they will realise that their life on this earth, or the interval between their sin and their punishment, had a duration which practically amounted to nothing. They express this by the phrase "ten days", but their wiser heads think that even this is an over-estimate. It was but a brief day! We know best what they will say, when their leader most eminent in conduct will say: "Ye tarried not longer than a day!"  Note that it is the shrewdest and most versed in Life who will say this, because they will be the first to see the true situation. 
Hazrat Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Mankind will stand before Allah, the Rubb of the worlds (on the Day of Resurrection), some of them will stand submerged in perspiration up to half of their ears". 
[Al-Bukhari Book 06, Chapter 60, Hadith # 460].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Taha Ayat 102."that Day, We shall gather the MujrimunThis Hadith gives us a glimpse of the horrible scene of the Resurrection when people will stand in awe before Allah.
