( ولقد جاءهم رسول منهم ) محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ، ( فكذبوه فأخذهم العذاب وهم ظالمون )
And a Messenger from among them, whose honesty and truthfulness they knew - who was Muhammad (peace be upon him) - had come to the people of Makka, but they denounced him along with what Allah had revealed to him. As a result, Allah’s punishment of hunger and fear came on them whilst they were wronging their own souls by associating partners with Allah and rejecting His Messenger.
