Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Woe to the Disbelievers!`Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas commented on the Ayah:يحَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ(Alas for mankind!), this means, woe to mankind! Qatadah said:يحَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ(Alas for mankind!) means, "Alas for mankind, who have neglected the command of Allah." The meaning is that they will feel regret and sorrow on the Day of Resurrection.
