They do not believe in him in the Prophet s even though the example of the men of old has already gone before that is the way of God in dealing with them those of old by chastising them for denying the truthfulness of their prophets those Meccans are like these former.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(They believe not therein) such that they do not believe in Muhammad (pbuh) or in the Qur'an, or that chastisement will descend upon them, (though the example of the men of old have gone before) when they denied the messengers, just as your people have denied you, and Allah's norm concerning them was to punish and destroy them because of their denial.
