كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡۖ وَهَمَّتۡ كُلُّ أُمَّةِۭ بِرَسُولِهِمۡ لِيَأۡخُذُوهُۖ وَجَٰدَلُواْ بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ لِيُدۡحِضُواْ بِهِ ٱلۡحَقَّ فَأَخَذۡتُهُمۡۖ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ ٥
The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.

Commentary on 40:5
(كذبت قبلهم) أي قبل أهل مكة (قوم نوح والأحزاب من بعدهم) أي وكذبت الأحزاب الذين تحزبوا على الرسل من بعد قوم نوح، كعاد وثمود وغيرهما (وهمت كل أمة) من تلك الأمم المكذبة (برسولهم) الذي أرسل إليهم (ليأخذوه) أي ليتمكنوا منه فيحبسوه ويعذبوه، ويصيبوا منه ما أرادوا. وقال قتادة والسدى ليقتلوه، والأخذ قد يرد بمعنى الإهلاك كقوله: (فأخذتهم فكيف كان نكير) والعرب تسمي الأسير الأخيذ والأخذ بمعنى الأسر.
(وجادلوا) أي خاصموا رسولهم (بالباطل) من القول (ليدحضوا) أي ليزيلوا (به الحق) ومنه مكان دحض أي مزلقة، ومزلة أقدام، والباطل داحض لأنه يزلق ويزول فلا يستقر، قال يحيى بن سلام: جادلوا الأنبياء بالشرك ليبطلوا به الإيمان (فأخذتهم) أي فأخذت هؤلاء المجادلين بالباطل (فكيف كان عقاب) الذي عاقبتهم به وحذف ياء المتكلم اجتزاء بالكسرة عنها وصلاً ووقفاً لأنها رأس آية.

And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne, exalting [Allāh] with praise of their Lord. And it will be judged between them in truth, and it will be said, "[All] praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds."
