أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَرَدُّوۤاْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِيۤ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَقَالُوۤاْ إِنَّا كَفَرْنَا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهِ وَإِنَّا لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَنَآ إِلَيْهِ مُرِيبٍ
٩
-Ibrâhîm ( إبراهيم )

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

Has there not come to you (an interrogative meant as an affirmative) the tidings, the news, of those who were before you — the people of Noah, and ‘Ād — the people of Hūd — and Thamūd — the people of Sālih — and those after them? None knows them save God. [This is] on account of their multitude. Their messengers brought them clear signs, with lucid arguments demonstrating their truthfulness; but they, that is, the communities, thrust their hands into their mouths, to bite on them, out of extreme spite, and said, ‘Lo! we disbelieve in that wherewith you have been sent, according to what you claim, and lo! we are in grave doubt concerning that to which you call us’, [doubt] creating [great] uncertainty.
