سَآءَ مَثَلًا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَأَنفُسَهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَظْلِمُونَ ١٧٧

Saheeh International

How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

سَاء مَثَلً الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِأيَاتِنَاEvil is the parable of the people who rejected Our Ayat.Allah says, evil is the example of the people who deny Our Ayat in that they are equated with dogs that have no interest but to collect food and satisfy lusts.'Therefore, whoever goes out of the area of knowledge and guidance, and seeks satisfaction for his lusts and vain desires, is just like a dog; what an evil example.The Sahih recorded that the Messenger of Allah said,لَيْسَ لَنَا مَثَلُ السَّوْءِ الْعَايِدُ فِي هِبَتِهِ كَالْكَلْبِ يَعُودُ فِي قَيْيِهThe evil example is not suitable for us:he who goes back on his gift is just like the dog that eats its vomit.Allah's statement,وَأَنفُسَهُمْ كَانُواْ يَظْلِمُونَand they used to wrong themselves.means, Allah did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves by rejecting guidance, not obeying the Lord, being content with this life that will soon end, all the while seeking to fulfill desires and obey lusts
