Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Those who oppose Allah and His messenger) regarding Religion and show enmity towards him (will be abased) they will be chastised and conquered on the day of the Ditch; they will be killed and defeated; the reference here is to the people of Mecca (even those before them were abased) just as those who had fought against the prophets before the people of Mecca were chastised and conquered; (and We have sent down clear tokens) We have sent Gabriel with revelations making clear the commands and prohibitions, the lawful and unlawful, (and for disbelievers) in the revelations of Allah (is a shameful doom) through which they will be humiliated; and it is said that a shameful doom means: a severe chastisement.
