Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : To hasten Allah's torment and punishment (believing that it will not happen)
Ref: Surah Al-Ahqaf 46:22
Arabic:
قَالُوٓا۟ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ ءَالِهَتِنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ ٢٢
Translation:
They argued, “Have you come to turn us away from our gods? Bring us then whatever you threaten us with, if what you say is true.”
