﴿وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلَىٰ حَيَاةٍ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا ۚ يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِهِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ أَن يُعَمَّرَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ﴾
[ البقرة: 96]
2:96 And you will surely find them the most greedy of people for life - [even] more than those who associate others with Allah. One of them wishes that he could be granted life a thousand years, but it would not remove him in the least from the [coming] punishment that he should be granted life. And Allah is Seeing of what they do.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishYou will find, O Prophet, that the Jews are the most desirous for life, even if it is miserable and lowly.
They are even greedier for it than the idolaters, who worship others alongside Allah, who do not believe in being brought back to life after death or in being held to account for what they have done.
Despite being People of the Scripture, and believing in the resurrection and the reckoning, they would love to live a thousand years.
Yet however long a life they might be given, it would not distance them from Allah’s punishment.
Allah sees all that they do.
Nothing is hidden from Him, and they will be given what they earn.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And verily, you will find them (the Jews) the greediest of mankind for life and (even greedier) than those who - ascribe partners to Allah (and do not believe in Resurrection - Magians, pagans, and idolaters, etc.). Everyone of them wishes that he could be given a life of a thousand years. But the grant of such life will not save him even a little from (due) punishment. And Allah is All-Seer of what they do.

You shall find them, O Muhammad, of all people, the most eager, for longevity, even more than the Pagans, none of them aims for the grave but would rather be entangled in the web of life for a thousand years. But nothing shall alter his punitive destiny even if he is carried through the stealing steps of age to this desired advanced life span, and Allah is Bassirun (Omnipresent): He sees all that they do

تم انہیں سب سے بڑھ کر جینے کا حریص پاؤ گے حتیٰ کہ یہ اس معاملے میں مشرکوں سے بھی بڑھے ہوئے ہیں ان میں سے ایک ایک شخص یہ چاہتا ہے کہ کسی طرح ہزار برس جیے، حالانکہ لمبی عمر بہرحال اُسے عذاب سے تو دور نہیں پھینک سکتی جیسے کچھ اعمال یہ کر رہے ہیں، اللہ تو انہیں دیکھ ہی رہا ہے
