وَیْلٌ یَّوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِیْنَ Open ayah 77:45 in the Quran reader

Woe, that Day, to the deniers!

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُ‌ونَ (This is a day when they will not speak, nor will they be allowed to offer excuses....77:35, 36) In other words, this is the Day in which they will not be able to talk, nor will they be permitted to offer pleas for their misdeeds. However, other verses of the Qur'an inform us that they will speak and will be permitted to offer excuses. There is no discrepancy between the two verses, because there will be various stages on the Plain of Gathering (Mahshar) through which people will have to pass. Sometimes they will pass through a stage where it would be forbidden for them to speak or offer excuses; and at another stage they will be permitted. [ Ruh ].

كُلُوا وَتَمَتَّعُوا قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُم مُّجْرِ‌مُونَ ("Eat and drink for a while! You are guilty ones...77:46) This verse addresses the infidels through the Holy Prophet ﷺ . They may eat and drink and enjoy themselves in this world, but the span is short, and then there will be nothing but punishment for them. [ Abu Hayyan ].
Ayahs 77:48–49

وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوْا لَا یَرْكَعُوْنَ Open ayah 77:48 in the Quran reader

And when it is said to them, "Bow down (i.e. submit to Allah's commands' ) ", they do not bow down.

وَیْلٌ یَّوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِیْنَ Open ayah 77:49 in the Quran reader

Woe, that Day, to the deniers!

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْ‌كَعُوا لَا يَرْ‌كَعُونَ (And when it is said to them, "Bow down", they do not bow down...77:48) According to most commentators, the word ruku' is used here in its primitive sense 'to bow down and submit'. The verse signifies that when they were told to submit to the Divine commands, they refused to comply. Some scholars take the word ruku` in its technical sense and interpret the verse to signify 'when they are called to prayer, they refused to pray.' The ruku` is a part of the prayer, but it refers here to the whole prayer. [ Ruh ]
Ayah 77:50

فَبِاَیِّ حَدِیْثٍۭ بَعْدَهٗ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ۠ Open ayah 77:50 in the Quran reader

Now, in which discourse, after this, will they believe?

فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ (Now, in which discourse, after this, will they believe? ...77:50) The Holy Qur'an is the last Book of Allah which explains its message and wisdom most lucidly, excellently, eloquently, elegantly, and its arguments most convincingly. Its style is extremely effective and the admonition soul-capturing. If they do not believe in such a Book, then for which word are they waiting? This is to express disappointment in them. A Hadith narrative instructs that when one recites this verse, he should say 'I believe in Allah'. This statement must be made outside the prayer, or in voluntary prayer. He must abstain from this statement in obligatory and Sunnah prayer. Hadith narratives are clear on this point. And Allah knows best!
