Tafsir

Ruh al-Ma'ani

Verse range: 43:25

Open in Qurani

(So We took retribution from them, so observe how was the end of the deniers)

The literal implication of this is that the retribution was through the punishment of total annihilation. The author of al-Bahr interprets it as retribution through drought, killing, captivity, and exile.

Ubayy, Abu Ja‘far, Shaybah, Ibn Miqsam, al-Za‘farani, and others recited it as (aw law ji'nakum — "or if We had brought you") with the [plural] "nun" of the first person [We], which supports the view We have adopted. The command to observe what the state of the deniers ended in is a consolation to him, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and a guidance to not be concerned by his people’s denial of him, upon him be blessings and peace.
