Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Rebuke of the Disbelievers and the Threat against ThemAllah rebukes the disbelievers who, in the time of the Prophet , saw him and the guidance Allah sent him with. They witnessed the magnificent miracles Allah aided him with. Then, after all of this they fled from him and separated themselves from him. They fled right and left, group by group and party by party.
