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.
