Grammar Rules

Verb form X — seeking/requesting
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ (And they ask you to hasten) uses form X (إِسْتَفْعَلَ) — it means seeking or asking for the action.
We translate it as "to seek [action]" or "to ask for [action]".
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ (And they ask you to hasten) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

Sahih International

And they urge you to hasten the punishment. And if not for [the decree of] a specified term, punishment would have reached them. But it will surely come to them suddenly while they perceive not.
