So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those (29:40)

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

Each one of them did We penalize with what was commensurate with his evil deed. Among them were those against whom We sent a whirlwind and sand dunes and those who were overtaken by a merciless blast and those whom We eclipsed in one swallow by the yawning chasm We created beneath them and among them were those whom We drowned. And never was it Allahs attribute to do them injustice but it was they who wronged themselves

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(29:40) So We seized each for their sin. We let loose upon some a violent tornado with showers of stones; *68 some were overtaken by a mighty Cry; *69 some were caused to be swallowed up by the earth, *70 and some We drowned. *71 Allah would not wrong them, but it is they who wronged themselves. *72

So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those meaning

*68) That is, `Ad who were subjected to a furious windstorm which blew on them for seven nights and eight days continuously.
*69) That is, Thamud.
*70) That is, Korah.
*71) That is, Pharaoh and Haman.
*72) The stories that have been related in the foregoing verses, have been addressed and directed both to the believers and to the disbelievers. To the believers they have been addressed so that they do not feel discouraged and distressed at heart, and keep aloft the banner of the Truth firmly and patiently even in the face of the severe persecutions and hardships, and should have full faith in Allah that His succour shall ultimately come, and He will frustrate the designs of the wicked people and make the Word of the Truth to prevail. On the other hand, these have been addressed to those wicked people also, who in their arrogance were bent upon exterminating the Islamic movement. They have been warned to the effect: "You have formed a wrong opinion about Allah's forbearance and clemency. You think; that His is a lawless Kingdom. If you have not been seized so far for your rebellion and your tyrannies and wicked deeds and have been granted a long respite so that you may reform yourselves, you have inferred that there exists no power whatever which can call you to account, and that one can go on doing whatever one likes endlessly on this earth. This misconception will ultimately lead you to the same doom that has already been met by the peoples of Noah and Lot and Shu`aib, and experienced by `Ad and Thamud, and seen by Korah and Pharaoh.
 

So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those meaning in Urdu

آخر کار ہر ایک کو ہم نے اس کے گناہ میں پکڑا، پھر ان میں سے کسی پر ہم نے پتھراؤ کرنے والی ہوا بھیجی، اور کسی کو ایک زبردست دھماکے نے آ لیا، اور کسی کو ہم نے زمین میں دھسا دیا، اور کسی کو غرق کر دیا اللہ اُن پر ظلم کرنے والا نہ تھا، مگر وہ خود ہی اپنے اوپر ظلم کر رہے تھے
