Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Then if they reject you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), so were Messengers rejected before you, who came with Al-Bayyinât (clear signs, proofs, evidence) and the Scripture and the Book of Enlightenment.

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.
Yet if they deny you, (O Prophet), so indeed messengers before you were also denied, who came with clear proofs, scriptures, and the enlightening Book [182].
[182] In this verse, by ﴿بينات﴾ is meant miracles. "Zubur" refers to small books and admonitions, and "Kitaab Muneer" means such a comprehensive book in which commands and prohibitions, ethics, stories, and admonitions are all present, such as the Torah and the Noble Quran. That is, the Jews killed the prophets who offered the fiery sacrifice, and many messengers who brought miracles, admonitions, and comprehensive books—they continued to deny them as well. Therefore, if they are denying you too, you should not be surprised; rather, you should act with patience.
