➋ {بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُوْنَ:} That is, it is not possible that they enjoined this upon one another, because there are long periods between them, and their regions are not the same either. So the real matter is that these are rebellious people; the former people were also rebellious and were not ready to accept any restriction on their desires. The rebellion of both became an obstacle for them in obeying the Messenger and accepting the truth, so the latter said the same thing as the former had said.

The Common Factor Among All Disbelievers:
From the continuity of their behavior, it apparently seems as if every nation, before dying, would bequeath to the nation coming after them that if a messenger comes to you, you too should call him a sorcerer and a madman. The matter is not that there is a significant temporal or spatial gap between these nations, but the real issue is that among all such disbelievers, a few things are found as common factors: love for ancestral religion, fanaticism, stubbornness, arrogance, and the desire for freedom from the restrictions of the Shariah. These compel them to mock the prophets by calling them with such titles or similar ones. From this, another important point becomes evident: the motives related to good and evil, justice and oppression, which are naturally found in the human soul, have remained the same in every era; only the events have changed. For example, the rivalry that the brothers of Sayyiduna Yusuf ؑ had towards Sayyiduna Yusuf ؑ is still found among brothers today in the same way, even though the circumstances and events are different. Similarly, the mockery, ridicule, and titles used by the disbelievers of every era for their prophets have always been the same, even though their circumstances and events were of different kinds.
