    وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ مُنْذِرِينَ ("And indeed, We sent among them warners") means: and indeed We sent, among the communities that passed away before your community, and before your people who give you the lie, warners who warned them against Our might because of their disbelief in Us. But they gave them the lie and did not accept their counsels, and therefore We caused Our might and Our punishment to descend upon them.

    ( وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ مُنْذِرِينَ ) يقول: ولقد أرسلنا في الأمم التي خلت من قبل أمتك، ومن قبل قومك المكذبيك منذرين تنذرهم بأسنا على كفرهم بنا، فكذبوهم ولم يقبلوا منهم نصائحهم، فأحللنا بهم بأسنا وعقوبتنا.
