Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (we sent not down) as destruction (against his people after him) after they killed him (a host from heaven) angels from heaven, (nor do we ever send) down to them angels; it is also said that this means: we did not send to them messengers after they killed him.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : and we did not send (mā here is for negation) down on his people, namely, habīb’s, after him, after his death, any host from the heaven, that is, any angels to destroy them, nor do we [ever] send down, any angels to destroy anyone.
