Commentary
Do they believe that they are more stubborn than those who proposed to their prophets the signs and pledged that they would believe when they came to them? But when they came to them, they broke their pledge or opposed it. So Allah destroyed them. If We had given them what they proposed, they would have broken their pledge even more.
