The Byzantines — who are among the People of the Scripture — have been vanquished; the Persians vanquished them and they are not people of a scripture but worship graven images. The Meccan disbelievers rejoiced in this defeat of the Byzantines and said to the Muslims ‘We shall vanquish you as the Persians vanquished the Byzantines’;
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(The Romans have been defeated) the Romans, who were people of the Book, were defeated by the Persians who were worshippers of fire.
