Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Those who have been destroyed, will never return to this World.وَحَرَامٌ عَلَى قَرْيَةٍ(And a ban is laid on every town) Ibn `Abbas said, "it is enforced", i.e., it has been decreed that the people of each township that has been destroyed will never return to this world before the Day of Resurrection, as is reported clearly through other narrations from Ibn `Abbas, Abu Ja`far Al-Baqir, Qatadah and others.
