كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيبًا ۖ ذَاقُوا۟ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿15﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

They are like their immediate predecessors (the Jews of Banû Qainûqâ‘, who suffered); they tasted the evil result of their conduct, and (in the Hereafter, there is) for them a painful torment.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

Before {كَمَثَلِ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَرِيْبًا ذَاقُوْا وَبَالَ اَمْرِهِمْ … : ’’ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِيْنَ ‘‘}, the subject is omitted: {’’أَيْ مَثَلُهُمْ‘‘} that is, the state of those Banu Qurayzah whom the hypocrites are inciting to fight and assuring them of every kind of help, is like the state of those who were near before them. By these are meant the Banu Nadir, who tasted the consequence of their breach of covenant; despite all their fortifications, military preparations, claims of bravery, and promises of help from the hypocrites and polytheists, they could not withstand even the first blow, and, leaving their lands, gardens, and houses for the Muslims, they were exiled in disgrace and humiliation. And for them, there is a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter as well.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

15. 1. Some have taken this to refer to the polytheists of Makkah, who suffered a humiliating defeat in the Battle of Badr shortly before the expedition against Banu Nadir, meaning that these too are, in their defeat and disgrace, just like the polytheists whose time was very recent. Some have taken it to refer to the other Jewish tribe, Banu Qaynuqa, who had been exiled before Banu Nadir and who were close to them in both time and place. Ibn Kathir.

15. 2. That is, this affliction which they tasted is only the punishment of this world; the punishment of the Hereafter is in addition to this, and it will be extremely painful.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

15. Their example is like those who tasted the consequences of their deeds a short while [21] before them, and for them is a painful punishment.

[21] A short while ago, the Jews of the tribe of Banu Qaynuqa were expelled with utter humiliation and disgrace, and these Jews of Banu Nadir had witnessed it with their own eyes. The details of this have already been mentioned in the footnotes of verse 2 of this very Surah. And the disbelievers had received the punishment for their deeds a short while ago in the Battle of Badr. This was the punishment they received in this world, while the painful punishment in the Hereafter still remains as it is.
