Then they slaughtered it, but they regretted.
Tafsir
Despite such warnings, this cruel people cut off the legs of this camel, which Allah had given to this people as a miracle, and left it to die. So Allah (swt) gave them destruction. Before they perished, they realized that they were going to perish, they woke up in the morning in fear and regretted that they had slaughtered the camel. But they did not repent of their disbelief.
If they had repented to Allah, they would have seen that Allah's mercy is wide. Their regret is that they repented when they saw the torment. At a time when the doors of repentance are closed, their repentance is not acceptable in the sight of Allah because it is a repentance given to them by fear.

Verse 157 of Surah Ash-Shu'ara: Yet despite this they slaughtered the camel, but they also regretted it. They killed it by cutting its legs. (?) this unjust people, the camel that Allah, as His miracle, to this people had given, cut its legs and left it to die. Allah Almighty sent them destruction. Before being destroyed, they understood they would be destroyed. They woke in the morning in fear. And they regretted slaughtering the camel. But they did not repent of their unbelief. Had they repented to Allah, they would have seen that Allah's mercy is vast. Because they too are a denying people. Even if they see the miracle, they are still doubtful, that is.
Just as people in hell, the more they burn and the more their torment grows, will say (?) to Allah. These are the same. Their regret is their not repenting upon seeing the torment. At a time when the doors of repentance are closed, their repentance is not accepted; since it is a repentance that fear gave them, the repentance they made, in Allah's sight, He does not accept either. Because the doors of repentance have closed.
