( ولقد كذب الذين من قبلهم ) يعني كفار الأمم الماضية ( فكيف كان نكير ) أي إنكاري عليهم بالعذاب .
Verily, the nations that came before these idolaters rejected, and so the punishment of Allah descended upon them after they insisted in their disbelief and rejection, so how was My disavowal of them? Verily, it was a severe disavowal.
