(Lo! we have tried them) We have tried the people of Mecca with death, captivity and defeat on the Day of Badr because they refrained from asking forgiveness and We tried them with hunger and drought for a period of seven years because the Prophet, Allah bless him and give peace, prayed against them on the Day of Badr (as We tried) with hunger and the burning of the gardens (the owners of the garden) the owners of the fields: the Banu Darwan (when they vowed) when they swore by Allah (they would pluck its fruit next morning) at the break of dawn.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Indeed We have tried them We have tested the people of Mecca with drought and famine just as We tried the owners of the garden the orchard when they vowed that they would pluck that they would pick its fruits in the morning so that the poor folk would not notice them and so that they would not then have to give them of it that portion which their father used to give them of it by way of charity.
