And We certainly destroyed the towns that were around you that is We destroyed their inhabitants the likes of Thamūd ‘Ād and the people of Lot and We dispensed the signs We repeated the clear proofs so that perhaps they might return.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And verily We have destroyed townships round about you) O people of Mecca, (and displayed (for them) Our revelation) and explained the revelations detailing the commands, prohibitions and the destruction of those whom We had destroyed, (that haply they might return) from their disbelief and repent.
