Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Consolation in the fact that the previous Messengers were denied, and a reminder of the ResurrectionAllah says: `Even if these idolators who associate others with Allah disbelieve in you, O Muhammad, and go against the Message of Tawhid that you have brought, you have an example in the Messengers who came before you.' They also brought a clear Message to their people and told them to worship Allah alone, but their people denied them and went against them.
