Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

A Parable of the Removal of the Earnings of the DisbelieversThis is a parable that Allah made of the behavior of the Quraysh disbelievers with the great mercy, and tremendous favors He granted them. The mercy and favor of sending of Muhammad ﷺ to them. But they met him with denial, rejection and opposition. Therefore Allah says,إِنَّا بَلَوْنَـهُمْ(Verily, We have tried them) meaning, `We have tested them.
