Ibn Abbas Commentary
(But if ye deny) the message brought by Muhammad (pbuh) (then nations have denied before you) the messages brought by their messengers and We destroyed them as a consequence. (The messenger is only to convey (the Message) plainly) on behalf of Allah in a language they understand.
