Tafsir
Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
A Parable of the Removal of the Earnings of the Disbelievers
This is a parable that Allah made of the behavior of the Quraysh disbelievers with the great mercy, and tremendous favors He granted them. The mercy and favor of sending of Muhammad ﷺ to them. But they met him with denial, rejection and opposition. Therefore Allah says,
إِنَّا بَلَوْنَـهُمْ
(Verily, We have tried them) meaning, `We have tested them.'
كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَـبَ الْجَنَّةِ
(as We tried the People of the Garden,) This refers to a garden containing different types of fruits and vegetation.
