Quran 23:43 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
No community can precede its term by dying before it nor be deferred beyond it the person in the second verb yasta’khirūna ‘be deferred’ is masculine having been feminine in the first verb tasbiqu ‘precede’ because this masculine plural takes into account the plural masculine content of the term ‘community’.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
No people or nation can predate their set period of time nor can they postdate it either -includes: span of prosperity, of misery, of other conditions as well as that of life
Quran 23:43 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Mention of Other Nations Allah says:
ثُمَّ أَنشَأْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُوناً ءَاخَرِينَ
( Then, after them, We created other generations. ) meaning, nations and peoples.
مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْخِرُونَ
( No nation can advance their term, nor can they delay it. ) means, they are taken at the appropriate time, as decreed by Allah in His Book that is preserved with Him, before they were created, nation after nation, century after century, generation after generation, successors after predecessors.
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَى
( Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. ) Ibn `Abbas said, "( This means ) following one another in succession." This is like the Ayah:
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ اعْبُدُواْ اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُواْ الْطَّـغُوتَ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلَـلَةُ
( And verily, We have sent among every Ummah a Messenger (proclaiming ): "Worship Allah, and avoid Taghut ( all false deities )." Then of them were some whom Allah guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified) 16:36.
كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ
( Every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they denied him; ) meaning the greater majority of them.
This is like the Ayah:
يحَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ مَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ كَانُواْ بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
( Alas for mankind! There never came a Messenger to them but they used to mock at him. ) 36:30
فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ بَعْضاً
( so We made them follow one another, ) means, `We destroyed them,' as Allah says:
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مِن بَعْدِ نُوحٍ
( And how many generations have We destroyed after Nuh! ) 17:17
وَجَعَلْنَـهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ
( and We made them as Ahadith ) meaning, stories and lessons for mankind, as Allah says elsewhere:
فَجَعَلْنَـهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ وَمَزَّقْنَـهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ
( so, We made them as tales (in the land ), and We dispersed them all totally) 34:19.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( No nation can outstrip its term ) no nation can bring forward the term appointed for its destruction, ( nor yet postpone it ) to a later date.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
No nation can anticipate their term, nor can they delay it.
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
