وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

Tafseer

{ ولقد كذب الذين من قبلهم } من الأمم { فكيف كان نكير } إنكاري عليهم بالتكذيب عند إهلاكهم، أي أنه حق.

{And those before them denied} of the nations {so how was My denial} My denial of them for denying when they were destroyed, meaning that it is true.
