Commentary
And whoever came before him means: and whoever is with him from his followers. And it has been recited: and before him, meaning: and those who preceded him. The first reading is supported by the reading of Abdullah and Abu: and whoever is with him. And the reading of Abu Musa: and from his direction. And the overturned cities are the towns of the people of Lot, with the error, or with the act, or the actions of great error. They are exceedingly severe, as their abominations increased in ugliness. It is said: something increases if it grows: if it increases in the wealth of the people.
