And verily messengers before you were derided — herein is a statement to comfort the Prophet s — but those who mocked them were encircled by it was sent down against them that which they used to deride namely chastisement — likewise it shall befall those who have derided you.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked) the messengers who came before you, O Muhammad, were mocked by their people just as your people are mocking you, (but that whereat they mocked) the chastisement they mocked; it is also said that this means: they were chastised because of their mockery, (surrounded) was decreed and came down upon (those who scoffed at them) those who mocked the prophets.
