Ibn Abbas Commentary

(But they denied him) they denied his message, (so there came on them the retribution of the day of gloom) the punishment came in the form of a cloud that stopped above them and burned them with its heat. (Lo! it was the retribution of an awful day) it was a severe day of chastisement for them.

But they denied him so they were seized by the chastisement of the day of the shade al-zulla — a cloud which gave them shade when they suffered a bout of extreme heat but which then rained down fire on them and they were incinerated. Assuredly it was the chastisement of a tremendous day.
