Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Ar-Ra'd, Ayah 41
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ
Have they not seen that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? And Allah decides; there is no adjuster of His decision. And He is swift in account.

Or is it that they the people of Mecca have not seen how We visit the land how We target their land diminishing it at its outlying regions? by giving victory to the Prophet s. And God judges among His creatures as He will; there is none that can repel His judgement and He is swift at reckoning.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(See they not) i.e. the people of Mecca (how We visit the land) how We seize the land, (reducing it of) opening it up to Muhammad (pbuh) from (its outlying parts?) from its surrounding sides; it is also said that this refers to the death of the men of knowledge. ((When) Allah doometh) when He decrees the conquest of cities or the death of scholars (there is none that can postpone) there is nothing that can change this. (His doom, and He is swift at reckoning) His torment is severe; it is also said that this means: when He takes people to task, His reckoning is severe.
