Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And the first of them) the first nation (saith unto the last of them) the last of nations: (Ye were no whit better than us) such that our torment should be double yours, for you disbelieved as we disbelieved and worshipped others beside Allah as we did. Allah then tells them: (so taste the doom for what ye used to earn) for what you used to say and do of idolatry in the life of this world.
