سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 34
وَلَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَصَبَرُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَا كُذِّبُوا۟ وَأُوذُوا۟ حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰهُمْ نَصْرُنَا ۚ وَلَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكَ مِن نَّبَإِى۟ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿34﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Verily, (many) Messengers were denied before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), but with patience they bore the denial, and they were hurt; till Our Help reached them, and none can alter the Words (Decisions) of Allâh. Surely there has reached you the information (news) about the Messengers (before you).

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.
34. 1. For the further reassurance of the Prophet ﷺ, it is being said that this is not the first incident where the disbelievers are denying Allah’s Messenger; rather, many messengers have passed before, who were also denied. So you too, following their example, should act with patience and perseverance, until Our help comes to you in the same way as We helped the previous messengers, and We do not go against Our promise. We have promised (اِنَّا لَنَنْصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا) 40:51 Surely We will help Our messengers and the believers (كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَاَغْلِبَنَّ اَنَا وَرُسُلِيْ) 58:21 Allah has decreed that I and My messengers will surely prevail and other such verses (as-Saffat).
34. 2. Rather, His promise will surely be fulfilled that you will remain dominant and victorious over the disbelievers. And so it happened.
34. 3. From which it is clear that although in the beginning their nations denied them, caused them harm, and made life difficult for them, but ultimately, with Allah’s help, success, triumph, and eternal salvation became their destiny.
