Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Reminding the Quraysh of the Destruction of earlier Disbelieving NationsAllah the Exalted warns the disbelievers of Quraysh and reminds them of the punishment and painful torment that He sent in this life on their likes, who disbelieved before them. For instance, Allah the Exalted punished the people of Nuh by drowning them in the encompassing flood that touched all the people of earth.
