Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Then changed We the evil plight for good) We replaced drought and lack of fruit with fertility, abundance and comfort (till they grew affluent and said: Tribulation and distress did touch our fathers) as they have touched us, but they held firm to their religion. We are just like them and their example we shall follow. (Then We seized them unawares) with torment, (when they perceived not) the descent of such a torment.
