Allah, exalted is His praise, says: ( THEN WE SHALL SURELY MAKE THOSE WHO DISBELIEVED TASTE ) — namely the polytheists (mushrikīn) of the Quraysh who uttered this statement, in disbelief (kufr) toward Allah — a severe punishment (ʿadhāb) in the Hereafter, ( AND WE SHALL SURELY REQUITE THEM THE WORST OF WHAT THEY USED TO DO ). He says: and We shall give them, for that deed of theirs and for the rest of their deeds, the most hideous requital for the works that they performed in this world.
