[وَحَرَامٌ عَلَى
قَرْيَةٍ]
(And a ban is laid on every town) Ibn `Abbas said, "it is enforced'', i.e.,
it has been decreed that the people of each township that has been destroyed
will never return to this world before the Day of Resurrection, as is reported
clearly [through other narrations] from Ibn `Abbas, Abu Ja`far Al-Baqir, Qatadah
and others.
