Commentary
'Then' means after Our destruction of them. Since the action is in the nominative, we know that it is not conjoined with 'You destroy' to be an estimation. Rather, it is a statement of threat, the estimation of which is: We, if We wish, 'will follow them with the others.' That is, those who are in your time from the disbelievers of the Arabs and others for their denial of you, or those who came close to that time, like the companions of Al-Rass and the companions of the elephant.
