Commentary
What? That is: what thing? What has availed them from the punishment? What they were, that is: a state that is at the utmost possibility and length of time. They are given enjoyment, which is at the utmost ease for us, and it is depicted in the form of an existing thing, organized upon it. The meaning is that nothing has availed them at all because their consequence is destruction. It has only increased them in distance from Allah and His punishment due to the increase of sins that necessitate severe retribution.
