* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ هِيَ أَشَدُّ قُوَّةً مِّن قَرْيَتِكَ ٱلَّتِيۤ أَخْرَجَتْكَ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ فَلاَ نَاصِرَ لَهُمْ }

(And how many a township) how many inhabitants of townships (stronger) physically and numerically (than thy township (O Muhammad)) i.e. Mecca (which hath cast thee out) whose inhabitants caused you to move to Medina, (have We destroyed) when they rejected faith, (and they had no helper) they had no one to save them from Allah's chastisement!
