( مثل يوم الأحزاب مثل دأب قوم نوح وعاد وثمود والذين من بعدهم ) أي : مثل عادتهم في الإقامة على التكذيب حتى أتاهم العذاب ، ( وما الله يريد ظلما للعباد ) أي : لا يهلكهم قبل اتخاذ الحجة عليهم .
Like those who disbelieved and denied the messengers, such as the people of Noah, Aad, Thamud, and those who came after them. Allah destroyed them due to their disbelief and denial of their messengers. And Allah does not intend to oppress the servants. He only punishes them due to their sins.
