14. 1. For اَصْحَاب الاءَیْکَۃِ see Surah Ash-Shu'ara (وَمَآ اَنْتَ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا وَاِنْ نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الْكٰذِبِيْنَ 186ۚ) 26. Ash-Shu'ara:186) footnote.
14. 2. For قَوْمُ تُبَعِ see Surah Ad-Dukhan, (اَهُمْ خَيْرٌ اَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّــعٍ ۙ وَّالَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۭ اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ ۡ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ 37) 44. Ad-Dukhan:37) footnote.
14. 3. That is, each one of them denied their respective prophet. In this, there is comfort for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, as if it is being said to you ﷺ that you should not be saddened by the denial from your people, because this is not something new. The nations before you ﷺ also treated their prophets (peace be upon them) in the same way. Secondly, it is a warning to the people of Makkah that the previous nations denied the prophets (peace be upon them), so see what their end was. Do you also want the same end for yourselves? If you do not like this outcome, then leave the path of denial and believe in the Messenger ﷺ.
