Commentary
And he indicated the swiftness of their disobedience by the conjunction in his saying: ﴿So they killed it﴾ [meaning: they killed it by striking its leg with the sword].
And when the consequences of their killing it led to the arrival of the signs of punishment, he informed about their regret for killing it in that it leads to destruction, not in that it is a disobedience to Allah and His Messenger. So he said: ﴿So they became regretful﴾ meaning: for killing it due to the certainty of punishment.
