Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Shu` ayb's threatening of His People When the Prophet of Allah,Shu` ayb, despaired of their response to him, he said, "O mypeopleاعْمَلُواْ عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ(Act according to your ability,) This means, "Act according to your current ways." This is actually a severe threat. إِنِّى عَـمِلٌ(I am acting.) according to my way.
