Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (not one of them but did deny the messengers) he says: all these folks denied the messengers just as the quraysh deny you, (therefore my doom was justified) therefore my chastisement is enjoined upon them,

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : each one, of the factions, did not but deny the messengers, for when they deny one, they have [in effect] denied them all, since their call [to god] is [the same] one, namely, the call to [affirmation of] his oneness. so my retribution was justified, [it was] necessary.
