Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Recompense comes after Proof is establishedAllah describes His Honorable Self and just judgment in that He does not lead a people astray but after the Message comes to them, so that the proof is established against them. For instance, Allah said, وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيْنَـهُمْ(And as for Thamud, We showed and made clear to them the path of truth ...) 41:17.
