Ibn Abbas Commentary

(A plight) a punishment (like that of Noah's folk, and 'Aad) the folk of Hud (and Thamud) the folk of Salih, (and those after them) among the disbelievers, (and Allah willeth no injustice for (His) slaves) Allah does not transgress against His slaves such that He punishes them without them having committed any crime.

like the case of the people of Noah and ‘Ād and Thamūd and those who came after them mithla ‘like’ substitutes for the previous mithla ‘like’ in other words the same requital as was customarily dealt to those who disbelieved before you of their being chastised in this world and God does not desire to wrong any of His servants.
