Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(We, even We, created them) i.e. the people of Mecca, (and strengthened their frame) and made their constitution strong. (And when We will, We can replace them, bringing others like them) i.e. We destroy them (in their stead) He says: if We had willed, We would have destroyed these sinful and disbelieving people and brought instead of them people who are better and more obedient.
