Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (are your disbelievers) o muhammad; and it is said: o people of mecca (better than those) we related to you, (or have ye some immunity in the scriptures) from punishment?
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : are your disbelievers, o quraysh, better than those?, mentioned [beginning] from the people of noah to those of pharaoh, which is why they have not been chastised? or have you, o disbelievers of quraysh, [been granted] some immunity, from chastisement, in the scriptures?, the books? (the interrogative in both instances is meant as a denial, in other words: it is not so).
