فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ فِى دَارِهِمْ جَٰثِمِينَ
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

Reading Tafsir Ibn Abi Zamanin by Ibn Abi Zamanin
Ayahs 91–100 of 206
92
ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ شُعَيْبًۭا كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا۟ فِيهَا ۚ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ شُعَيْبًۭا كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ
Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was they who were the losers.
﴿كَأَنْ لَمْ يغنوا فِيهَا﴾ يَعْنِي: يقيموا.

93
فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ ءَاسَىٰ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍۢ كَٰفِرِينَ
And he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"
﴿فَكيف آسى﴾ أَحْزَنُ؛ أَيْ: لَا أَحْزَنُ عَلَيْهِمْ.

94
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِى قَرْيَةٍۢ مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّآ أَخَذْنَآ أَهْلَهَا بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُونَ
And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allah].
﴿أَخذنَا أَهلهَا بالبأساء﴾ يَعْنِي: الْجُوع والقحط ﴿وَالضَّرَّاء﴾ يَعْنِي: الْأَمْرَاض والشدائد

95
ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ ٱلسَّيِّئَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ حَتَّىٰ عَفَوا۟ وَّقَالُوا۟ قَدْ مَسَّ ءَابَآءَنَا ٱلضَّرَّآءُ وَٱلسَّرَّآءُ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.
﴿ثمَّ بدلنا مَكَان السَّيئَة﴾ أَيْ: مَكَانَ الْبَأْسَاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ ﴿الْحَسَنَةَ﴾ يَعْنِي: الرَّخَاءَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ. ﴿حَتَّى عَفَوْا﴾ أَيْ: كَثُرُوا ﴿وَقَالُوا قَدْ مَسَّ آبَاءَنَا الضراء والسراء﴾ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ؛ يَعْنُونَ: مَا كَانَ يَعِدُ النَّبِيُّ بِهِ قَوْمَهُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ إِنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا.

وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّقَوْا۟ لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَرَكَٰتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبُوا۟ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning."
﴿لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَرَكَاتٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْض﴾ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: يَقُولُ: لَأَعْطَتْهُمُ السَّمَاءُ قطرها، وَالْأَرْض نباتها.

أَفَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا بَيَٰتًۭا وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ
Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?
﴿أَفَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ الْقُرَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ بأسنا﴾ عذابنا ﴿بياتا﴾ يَعْنِي: لَيْلًا.

أَوَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا ضُحًۭى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ
Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?
وَقَوله: ﴿ضحى﴾ يَعْنِي: نَهَارا ﴿وهم يَلْعَبُونَ﴾.
قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: يُقَالُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ كَانَ فِي عملٍ لَا يُجْدِي وَفِي ضَلَالٍ: إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ لاعبٌ؛ أَيْ: فِي غَيْرِ مَا يُجْدِي عَلَيْك.

أَفَأَمِنُوا۟ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ
Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.
﴿أفأمنوا مكر الله﴾ يَعْنِي: عَذَابه.

أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَآ أَن لَّوْ نَشَآءُ أَصَبْنَٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۚ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ
Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.
﴿أَو لم نَهْدِ﴾ أَيْ: نُبَيِّنْ، وَتُقْرَأُ ﴿يَهْدِ﴾ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ.
﴿لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الأَرْضَ من بعد أَهلهَا﴾ يَعْنِي: الَّذِينَ أُهْلِكُوا مِنَ الْأُمَمِ السالفة.
