Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Finding Consolation in the Reminder of Those Who came beforeAllah says, `He sent Messengers to the nations of the past, and they were rejected. You, O Muhammad, have an example in your brothers among the Messengers, so do not be distressed by your people's rejection. As for the idolators' rejection of the Messengers, the reason for this is that the Shaytan made their deeds attractive to them.
