Ghafir (The Forgiver)
Verse 5of 85
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍۢ وَٱلْأَحْزَابُ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ وَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍۭ بِرَسُولِهِمْ لِيَأْخُذُوهُ ۖ وَجَٰدَلُوا۟ بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ بِهِ ٱلْحَقَّ فَأَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ﴿٥﴾
Translation (Sahih International)
The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
One of the Attributes of the Disbelievers is That they dispute theAyat of Allah -- and The Consequences of that Allah tells us that noone rejects or disputes His signs after clear proof has come,إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ(but those who disbelieve), i.e., those who reject the signs of Allah and His proof and evidence.فَلاَ يَغْرُرْكَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِى الْبِلاَدِ(So let not their ability of going about here and there through the land deceive you!) means, their wealth and luxurious life.
