Tafsir of Az-Zumar 39:50

Surah Az-Zumar 39:50



ﱥ ﱦ ﱧ ﱨ ﱩ ﱪ ﱫ ﱬ ﱭ ﱮ ﱯ

Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.

قد قالها الذين من قبلهم

Verily, those before them said it, means, the previous nations who came before said the same things and made the same claims,

فما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يكسبون

yet (all) that they had earned availed them not. means, what they said was not right and all that they had gathered did not save them
