Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And when he turneth away (from thee)) when he is angry (his effort in the land is to make mischief therein) by committing transgressions (and to destroy the crops) and stacks of grain by burning them (and the cattle) by killing them; (and Allah loveth not mischief) or those who commit it.

And when he turns his back leaving you behind he hastens he walks about the earth to do corruption there and to destroy the tillage and the stock these last two actions are included in such ‘corruption’; and God loves not corruption that is to say it does not please Him.
