Al-Jalalayn Commentary
But they denied him with regard to his saying this as being a command from God — which if they contravened would immediately result in chastisement being sent down on them — then hamstrung her they slew it in order to appropriate her share of the drinking water. So their Lord closed in on them the chastisement because of their sin and meted it equally among them that is the closing in on them in other words He subsumed them all by it so that not one of them escaped.
