آية: 13

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا ٱلۡقُرُونَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ لَمَّا ظَلَمُواْ وَجَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤۡمِنُواْۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

(13) ^[2306]Certainly We have destroyed ˹many of ˺ the generations before you when they wronged; their Messengers had come to them with clear evidences yet they would never Believe!^[2307] Thus We requite the criminal people.

[2306] Here they are invited to consider the fate of earlier nations when they Denied and thought lightly of God’s punishment (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr): “Whatever a Sign of the Signs of their Lord comes to them; they will only turn away from it. *They have ˹wilfully˺ declared false the Truth when it came to them; the ˹absolute˺ tidings of what they used to ridicule will ˹certainly˺ reach them. *Had they not seen how many a generation before them We have destroyed? We had established them in the land ˹far˺ more firmly than how We established you ˹people˺! We sent the sky pouring down on them profusely and We made the rivers run under their feet, ˹only˺ then We destroyed them for their sins and We brought into being another generation after them” (6: 4-6).
[2307] “Had not the news of those who came before them reached them: the people of Nūḥ, ˹the tribes of ˺ ʿĀd and Thamūd, the people of Ibrāhīm, the companions of Midian and the overturned; their Messengers came to them with clear evidences! Allah would not have wronged them but they were bent on wronging themselves” (9: 70).
