Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Az-Zukhruf 43:8

Word by word

فَأَهْلَكْنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( فأهلكنا أشد منهم بطشا ) أي : فأهلكنا المكذبين بالرسل ، وقد كانوا أشد بطشا من هؤلاء المكذبين لك يا محمد . كقوله : ( أفلم يسيروا في الأرض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم كانوا أكثر منهم وأشد قوة ) [ غافر : 82 ] والآيات في ذلك كثيرة .وقوله : ( ومضى مثل الأولين ) قال مجاهد : سنتهم . وقال قتادة : عقوبتهم . وقال غيرهما : عبرتهم ، أي : جعلناهم عبرة لمن بعدهم من المكذبين أن يصيبهم ما أصابهم ، كقوله في آخر هذه السورة : ( فجعلناهم سلفا ومثلا للآخرين ) [ الزخرف : 56 ] . وكقوله : ( سنت الله التي قد خلت في عباده ) [ غافر : 85 ] وقال : ( ولن تجد لسنة الله تبديلا ) [ الأحزاب : 62 ] .
