﴿أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَصْحَابِ مَدْيَنَ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَاتِ ۚ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ ۖ فَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ﴾
[ التوبة: 70]

English - Sahih International

9:70 Has there not reached them the news of those before them - the people of Noah and [the tribes of] 'Aad and Thamud and the people of Abraham and the companions of Madyan and the towns overturned? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. And Allah would never have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves.

Tafsir Ibn Katheer in English

Abridged Explanation of the Quran

Have the hypocrites not heard of what previous disbelieving communities did and what their end was? The news of the people of Noah, Hūd, Ṣāliḥ, Abraham, the inhabitants of Madyan and the towns of the nation of Lot? Their messengers came to them with clear proof and evidence.
Allah was not unjust in punishing them, as their messengers had warned them, but they were unjust to themselves because of their disbelief in Allah and rejection of His messengers.

Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

Has not the story reached them of those before them? - The people of Nuh (Noah), 'Ad, and Thamud, the people of Ibrahim (Abraham), the dwellers of Madyan (Midian) and the cities overthrown [i.e. the people to whom Lout (Lot) preached], to them came their Messengers with clear proofs. So it was not Allah Who wronged them, but they used to wrong themselves.

ألم يأتهم نبأ الذين من قبلهم قوم نوح وعاد وثمود وقوم إبراهيم وأصحاب مدين والمؤتفكات أتتهم رسلهم بالبينات فما كان الله ليظلمهم ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمون

سورة: التوبة - آية: ( 70 ) - جزء: ( 10 ) - صفحة: ( 198 )

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

Have they not been informed of what became of their predecessors -the people of Nuh (Noah) and those of Ad, the people of Thamud and those of Ibrahim(Abraham), the people of Shuaib -the Madianites- and those of Lut (Lot) - the subverted cities-. All of them received Messengers who brought them divine illumination and enlightenment. Never was Allah going to do them. injustice, but it was they who wronged themselves

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

(9:70) Has not *77 the story reached them of those who had gone before them-the people of Noah, tribes of `Ad and Thamud, the people of Abraham and the inhabitants of Midian and of the overturned cities *78 ? Their Messengers came to them with clear signs; then it was not Allah Who would wrong them, but they wronged their own selves. *79

Has there not reached them the news of those before them - meaning

*77) Again they are being mentioned in the third person.
*78) These were the people of Lot.
*79) "They wronged themselves" for they were themselves responsible for their destruction. Allah had no enmity with them and had no desire to destroy them. As a matter of fact, they themselves adopted the way of life that led to destruction, whereas AIlah had sent His Messengers to them and afforded them the opportunities of thinking, understanding and reforming. His Messengers admonished and warned them of the consequences of treading wrong paths, and presented very clearly before there the Way that leads to success, and also the ways that lead to destruction. But when they did not benefit from the opportunities that were offered to them to mend their ways, and persisted in treading the ways that led to destruction, they inevitably met with the end for which they were heading. And this horrible end was not due to Allah's will to be unjust to theta but due to their own evil doings.

کیا اِن لوگوں کو اپنے پیش روؤں کی تاریخ نہیں پہنچی؟ نوحؑ کی قوم، عاد، ثمود، ابراہیمؑ کی قوم، مدین کے لوگ اور وہ بستیاں جنہیں الٹ دیا گیا اُن کے رسول ان کے پاس کھلی کھلی نشانیاں لے کر آئے، پھر یہ اللہ کا کام نہ تھا کہ ان پر ظلم کرتا مگر وہ آپ ہی اپنے اوپر ظلم کرنے والے تھے
