ٱلْأَنْعَام : ١٠

  • وَلَقَدِ And indeed
  • ٱسۡتُهۡزِئَ were mocked
  • بِرُسُلٖ Messengers
  • مِّن from
  • قَبۡلِكَ before you
  • فَحَاقَ but surrounded
  • بِٱلَّذِينَ those who
  • سَخِرُواْ scoffed
  • مِنۡهُم of them
  • مَّا what
  • كَانُواْ they used to
  • بِهِۦ [at it]
  • يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ mock
And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by that which they used to ridicule.
And messengers were indeed mocked before you - this is meant as a consolation for the Prophet, may peace and salutation be upon him - but those who scoffed at them were encompassed by that which they mocked, namely, [by the] punishment [sent down on them]: those who mock you will be encompassed likewise.
