Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Evil Results of KufrAllah says:وَأُحِيطَ بِثَمَرِهِ(So his fruits were encircled), meaning his wealth, or according to the other opinion, his crops. What is meant is that what this disbeliever was afraid of and what the believer had terrified him actually had happened. A storm struck his garden, a garden which he had erroneously thought would last forever, distracting him from thoughts of Allah, may He be glorified.
